Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Thriving in International Schools is an essential guide designed to empower local administrative non-teaching support staff in the unique environment of international schools. While foreign colleagues may experience culture shock, host country employees often face an equally challenging "international school micro-culture shock," which can be vastly different from their cultural norms. For local employees with little or no international exposure, adapting to this micro-culture can be daunting. However, the smooth operation of international schools heavily depends on these staff members, who typically remain longer than the more transient foreign teachers. Their stability ensures continuity and satisfaction for teachers, students, and parents alike. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the micro-culture shock faced by local support staff and offers a three-pronged approach to mitigate it. It's a must-read not only for local administrative non-teaching support staff but also for heads of school and business managers who play a crucial role in fostering a supportive environment. Thriving in International Schools is divided into two insightful sections: 1. A Guide for Local Administrative Non-Teaching Support Staff: Authored by Henry Wong, a seasoned non-teaching leader in international schools, this section explores the specific hurdles local support staff face, such as cultural misunderstandings and communication barriers. Wong provides practical strategies to help staff overcome these obstacles and thrive in their roles. 2. Expert Insights and Real-World Examples: The second part features contributions from experienced academic and business administrators across various international schools. Their insights and real-world examples enrich the discussion, offering valuable advice and highlighting best practices. Empower your local support staff and ensure a harmonious, efficient international school environment with the guidance of Thriving in International Schools. This item is printed on demand.
