How WASC and AISH support schools
A partnership between WASC and AISH, built on one conviction that never changed: these resources should be freely available to every international school, regardless of membership in either organisation.
Western Association of Schools and Colleges
“For WASC, our primary focus is to support schools and their leaders in creating and sustaining an ecosystem that promotes learning and flourishing in what seems to be an ever more unpredictable world. Our hope is that this book becomes a piece of that infrastructure.”
WASC supports international schools throughout accreditation and continuous improvement. Dr. Margaret Alvarez, Senior Vice President for International Schools, and Dr. Gregory Hedger, Vice President, both contributed directly to this volume — Dr. Alvarez to the Forward, and Dr. Hedger as one of its authors.
- —Accreditation and continuous school improvement.
- —Strategy, development, and international accreditation services.
- —Working with national governments, training teachers and administrators, and contributing to accreditation protocols.
Academy for International School Heads
“For AISH, this matters because our work is fundamentally about reducing that isolation — building the networks, the knowledge base, and the honest conversations that give a Head of School confronting a crisis someone to turn to who has been there before.”
AISH supports Heads of international schools through courses, workshops, and partnerships such as the one behind this book. Mrs. Sheena Nabholz, Co-CEO, contributed the Forward and works with Heads on the transition into headship, board relationships, and the situational leadership that crisis and complexity demand.
- —Peer networks and confidential support between Heads of School.
- —Courses and workshops for Heads of international schools.
