Job Openings at IBSC Member Schools
The International Boys’ Schools Coalition is pleased to announce that we have new job openings with member schools. We are eager to help all member schools who might have positions to be filled. To submit a job opening, please click this link.
Please Remember: We’ve Moved to theibsc.org!
We have now changed our web domain name and staff email addresses. http://www.theibsc.org/ is more instantly recognised, and will allow us to grow under one corporate web umbrella. But don’t panic! The old web name is linked seamlessly with the new, so your “favourite” or short-cut access will not be disrupted. While previous email addresses for IBSC staff continue to operate, our new email addresses are:
We would be grateful if you would take a minute to update our email addresses in your contact list(s). Also, in this day of stringent security in school networks, it would be most helpful if you could inform your network administrator that the IBSC has implemented an organisational domain name with email.
During the 14th Annual Conference in Boston, interested individuals from member schools met to discuss how IBSC could capitalize on its status as an international organisation by facilitating visits and exchanges programme between member schools. Over the past two months, we have refined and tested an on-line process that will enable schools to take the first important steps in building these collaborations and relationships with other schools. We are pleased to announce that the IBSC Visits and Exchanges Programme, is now “live” on our website.
To enter the IBSC Visits and Exchanges Programme, you will need your school’s IBSC “Members Only” username and password. The homepage of the programme outlines the various categories of faculty and student visits and exchanges. The on-line submission page is designed to capture a school’s intentions as a “sending” and as a “hosting” school, along with relevant information about the school itself. Once submitted, core information for each school is posted on a “notice board”, and the reader can then follow links to the full information for schools that may be of interest. Contact information for those directly responsible for faculty and student visits and exchanges programmes in other schools is provided there. Our hope is that IBSC schools will now take up this opportunity, and that it will lead to some wonderful collaboration, enriching the professional lives of our teachers and the experiences of boys in our global network of boys’ schools.
As we continue to explore on-line ways to share effective practice in boys’ schools, we are pleased to launch Great Programs in Boys’ Schools. At this area of our website, schools are invited to contribute summaries of programmes – big or small – that work especially well with boys.
