American School of Barcelona
I am delighted to have begun our partnership building intercultural competency capacity with leaders at the The American School of Barcelona.
Over the course of two days, we convened a group of 40 teachers, counselors, board members, operations, human resources, and administrators to enhance ongoing efforts to foster and sustain an inclusive school culture of dignity and respect.
Content included reframing US notions to drive belonging specifically in an international and Barcelona context, aligning on the value proposition for ALL constituents, engaging in personal introspection, learning fundamental intercultural competency, and engaging in a SWOT analysis to collaboratively design short and longterm Belonging objectives and potential KPIs.
I look forward to our ongoing partnership during the 2024-25 academic year, engaging all staff, students, parents, and the board.
Many thanks to Dr. Johanna Cena, director of teaching and learning, Mark Pingitore, school director, and all workshop participants for their commitment to these ongoing efforts.
