On behalf of Saitama JALT, a very Happy New Year to everyone! We are pleased to be starting our 2019 presentation program off with a very unique session from Brad Semans on the process of establishing a public international school. Please find the full abstract for his presentation below. The presentation will be proceeded by an opening MyShare presentation by Saitama JALT's own Matt Shannon.
Establishment of a Public Article 1 International Secondary School
In April of 2019, Saitama Municipal Omiya International Secondary School will open its doors to the first cohort of 160 students. This session will be divided into three parts. In part one, the presenter will explore the nature and logistics of establishing a school. This part of the session will give attendees an exceedingly rare look into the process of establishing a public school. In part two, the presenter will describe the process of school establishment from the perspective of faculty. In this part of the session, attendees will be able to reflect on work culture in Japanese public schools and the nature of school change in relation to professional development. In part three of the session, the presenter will present detailed contents of the school’s make up. This will include specific educational and administrative practices that serve to make the school’s effective operation possible.
国際公立学校の設立
2019年4月、さいたま市立大宮国際中等教育学校は160名の生徒の第1期生へ門を開きます。 このセッションは3つの部分に分かれています。 第1部では、発表者は学校を設立する際の性質と物流を深まります。 この部分では、公立学校を設立する過程に出席者に非常にまれな見方が与えられます。 第2部では、発表者が教職員の視点から学校設立のプロセスを説明します。 ここでは、参加者は、日本の公立学校の職場文化や教員の指導力向上に関連した学校の変化の性質を反映することができます。 第3部では、発表者が学校の具体的な取り組みについて発表します。 これには、学校の効果的な運営を可能にするための具体的な教育的、および行政的な実践を含まれます。
