October 27, 2025

   

Join us for an exclusive, member-only, 60-minute online program presenting the key findings from the latest IBSC global research project, led by Professor Andrew Martin at the University of New South Wales. With participation from more than 40 IBSC schools, this project aimed to identify strategies for professional practice and produce resources to enhance and sustain boys’ academic and social-emotional well-being.

Hear directly from Martin as he shares the crucial insights gathered from boys, teachers, and school leaders. The 40-minute presentation focuses on the classroom and co-curricular practices most strongly associated with improvements in boys’ motivation, engagement, resilience, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships.

Following the presentation, a 20-minute Q&A session provides an opportunity for IBSC members to engage directly with the research and explore how you can apply these findings in your school.
