Congratulations to Kori Brown of The Haverford School (United States) for winning the 2022 IBSC Action Research Award for completing highly innovative action research projects that make a valuable contribution to the IBSC Action Research community.
What's New?
After the 2022 IBSC Annual Conference, bring the plenary session speakers back to your school with videos recorded during the live event. If you cannot join us in Dallas, learn from these illuminating speakers on your own device using the Virtual Matchbox platform after the conference. If you do join us in Dallas (we hope so!), you can purchase access to the videos for your entire faculty and staff for one low price.
IBSC brings the exciting world of online learning to members with these professional development opportunities for boys’ educators to explore new teaching paradigms with colleagues from around the globe. The flexible schedule allows you to delve into the innovative coursework on your own time, whenever it's most convenient for you.
As the use of technology in our schools becomes more pervasive, we want to understand how this might shape boys’ learning relationships. The next phase in the research project conducted with the Relationships Foundation seeks to establish baseline data about the use of technology by member schools and create opportunities for more in-depth learning about the impact on relationships
Nearly three decades ago, IBSC embarked on a path to support, advance, and celebrate boys’ schools and those who work with boys. Since then, groups of educators, parents, and professionals have gathered in cities and at schools around the globe to share ideas, challenge conventions, and celebrate boyhood. In 2022, that path leads to the city of Dallas and St. Mark’s School of Texas (United States), where, for the first time in nearly three years, we will be together again to continue our journey.
Join IBSC Director of Membership Engagement Bruce Collins as he hosts conversations in the most recent episode of the IBSC Exploring Boys' Education Podcast.
This on-demand class launches participating teachers and schools into a space where they can develop and implement programs that encourage boys to read. Dive deep into recent research and also investigate practical ideas for engaging boys in reading, improving their reading abilities, and deepening their love for books.
IBSC openly and genuinely affirms all efforts to end racial inequity and social injustice. In the ongoing pursuit to foster diverse, global learning communities that recognize the inherent value and dignity of each person, the IBSC board of trustees officially stated our position in August 2020.
IBSC Affirms All Efforts to End Racial Inequity and Social Injustice
Join educators and parents from IBSC schools around the globe to examine issues impacting boys today. The four-part series spans six months, with a keynote speaker discussing each timely topic.
Open to educators and parents at IBSC member schools, the series proves valuable to anyone teaching or raising boys of all ages.
Each session in the series includes a 45-minute, prerecorded keynote address followed by an asynchronous conversation with fellow participants and speakers on a discussion board. You have access to this content and conversation for three consecutive days. Comment on the keynote, interact with the speaker, share your own resources that may benefit others, and learn from the information global colleagues and parents contribute.
