Join dedicated colleagues and friends for an active professional development opportunity designed to inspire and equip educators to help our boys navigate challenging — and often confusing — times. Attend the latest IBSC conference Rewriting the Narrative: Guiding Boys in an Age of Extremes, April 5 – 6, 2018, at St. Christopher's School (United States). The school has a demonstrated tradition of successfully reaching and teaching boys since 1911. Its Center for the Study of Boys, established in 2014, further supports the mission.
In any school, staff play a central role in nurturing confidence, sparking enthusiasm, and cultivating a lifelong love of learning. Nowhere is this more true than in the classrooms and on the playing fields of an all-boys school. At the core of these endeavors is the development of a boy's character.
In delivering on this mandate, staff interface with boys across many layers of the educational experience, from the informal interactions in the corridors, dining rooms, and dormitories to the more structured settings of the classrooms, stages, and sports fields of our schools.
Developing skills to span these environments is critical to how successfully our schools can deliver on the promise of growing a generation of young men of character. Explore the theme Developing Educators: Nurturing Teachers Toward Growing Boys into Significant Men with an invigorating program of keynote speakers and engaging workshops on offer at the IBSC conference to be held at Michaelhouse in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands March 8-10, 2018.
Join colleagues from around the globe for The Self-Motivated Boy, an online course led by psychiatrist and best-selling author Dr. Shimi Kang. Drawing on irrefutable science and unforgettable stories, Dr. Kang illuminates how to prepare boys to develop the key future-ready skills required for success in our rapidly changing, fast-paced, ultracompetitive, and highly connected modern world.
In conjunction with the 2018 IBSC Annual Conference at The Southport School on the Gold Coast, The Scots College in Sydney, Australia, is delighted to host a special professional learning experience with a difference.
