Leadership and Collaboration Groups

The Leadership and Collaboration groups are a fundamental strength of the ISABC.  The Leadership and Collaboration groups come under the auspices, but they are self-motivated and self-managed. Members seek to share their expertise and experiences while exploring new ideas in education for the continuous improvement of both their individual schools and the ISABC community.

 

Dates and times for all Leadership and Collaboration Group Meetings are included on the calendar below.

ISABC Leadership and Collaboration meetings will take place in person once a year, with as many virtual meetings taking place as needed.

Only those who are members of the group will have access to the meeting agenda and resources.

 

The ISABC offers funds to cover valued external professional learning costs. Catering costs are covered by the host school.  The ISABC strongly encourages all schools to rotate hosting duties.  Not only does this allow for an equitable sharing of resources, but allows your colleagues to tour a school they may not have visited before.

Steps to hosting a meeting:
The lead of your group will manage these steps below.  However, if you are hosting an in-person meeting at your school or have been asked to facilitate on online meeting, review step 1 below.
