Outstanding Schools Middle East Conference, one of the most prominent conferences on education, has invited Deputy Head of ISL Qatar and Director of Teaching Learning David Bryan, and Group Chief Academic Officer of the school Dr Sergio Pawel, to participate in the event as featured conference speakers.
“It is a privilege to be invited to the Outstanding Schools Middle East Conference, particularly at the point where there is a distinct paradigm shift in education. What does it mean for a school to be invited at such an important event? Recognition of ISL’s contribution to the professional development to regional and global community of teachers,” said Dr Sergio Pawel.
“ISL Qatar prides itself at being an educational environment for creativity, innovation and transformation. Moreover, as an educator, opportunities to collaborate with a wealth of like-minded educators is an honour. Engendering a pedagogical transition in education is powerful; more so when this can be a networking and sharing experience,” he added.
“Establishing a ‘Culture of Coaching’ is prevalent at ISL Qatar, alongside a distinct approach to ‘Professional Growth’. There is an increasing number of educators that see the potential of a coaching culture, starting with fellow educators and the influence on professional learning and growth. Ultimately, the goal is to provide an engaging experience for our learners. coupled with a rich sense of empowerment and ownership,” said David Bryan.
For ISL Qatar representatives, sharing experiences alone was a pivotal learning opportunity to evaluate and develop a deeper understanding of one’s own concepts in respect of professional learning and a coaching culture. As a learning experience, it is rather comforting to know that other educators are experiencing challenges and finding innovative ways to embrace and overcome those challenges.
“Alternative models of coaching should be explored that engage on a collaborative level as opposed to a model that is one-to-one. Listening to the learning community and ensuring the inclusion of all stakeholders in the learning community, creates a deeper foundation of coaching upon which to create and construct more powerful models for educators and learners,” said Deputy Head of School.
