  7. 1 Internationalizing: Why?

  8. Internationalizing: Why? Economic, cultural, technological and environmental shifts that are happening Growing global interdependence – countries opening up to each other. The need for individuals who can engage in effective global problem solving The need for individuals who are aware, curious and interested in learning about the world and how it works.

  9. Internationalizing: Why? To offer something different than the local market and products – competitive advantage (for-profit international schools) To open more doors for graduates To be recognized internationally

  11. 2 Internationalizing: How?

  12. Internationalizing: How? Vision/Mission: explicitly written in the Vision/Mission the objective of the owners re Internationalizing. Policies: explicitly written policies that support the school to function as an International school.

  13. Internationalizing: How? Curriculum: explicitly written in the curriculum in different subjects the attitude and behavior of an international student School Culture: Implicitly create a culture of acceptance through a positive atmosphere

  14. Internationalizing: How? Partnerships: Explicitly create partnerships with different schools that have a different population of students Schools usually assign an International Committee that promote the how.

  15. Global challenges of students around the world can be similar, but the approaches of different countries/schools are different. The “how” for different schools could be different.

  16. 3 Internationalizing: What?

  17. Internationalizing: What? What: is the end product – The international minded student. The student Mindset of the student – growth vs. fixed We have control on this The teacher Mindset of the teacher–growth vs. fixed We have control on this

  18. Internationalizing: What? The admin Mindset of the admin –growth vs. fixed We have control on this The parent Mindset of the parent–growth vs. fixed We don’t have control on this

  19. Schools will need to prepare all youth—migrant and hosting alike—for new contexts in which multiple cultures coexist. Managing this complexity—fostering kinship, communicating effectively, working together, valuing difference, benefitting from diversity—is essential to success in a global world.

  20. Internationalizing schools = Internationalizing human beings

  21. Growth vs Fixed The key in all internationalizing is developing an understanding of growth mindset and help individuals to accept internationalizing not because they have to, but because they want to!
