What are the PTC Institutes?
Intensive
courses addressing the
essential skills necessary to be an effective leader in
an international school. Each course spans 7 days and
includes afternoon networking sessions.
The PTC earned a reputation for providing highly effective practical
training for international school educators. Participants
can expect a high level of professionalism in each course
and should be prepared to work intensely and collaboratively
with their colleagues who come from international schools
around the world.
Who may attend?
Those already in the
principalship as well as those aspiring to the
principalship will benefit from these courses. All
participants will be from international schools or about
to take their first job in an international school.
Is there any preparation before the course?
All registrants complete
pre-read materials and preparation assignments
before arriving at the institutes. These can typically be completed in a few hours.
All participants are also asked to bring a written 'vignette'
addressing a professional issue. These are used in the afternoon
group sessions during which participants exchange ideas, discuss professional
issues and make important professional connections.
Are there any special requirements?
In order to receive a certificate of completion, participants must
complete the full 7-day institute. Those who arrive late or depart
early will not receive confirmation of participation.
Due to the intensive training and limited facilities, PTC
accommodations are not offered to spouses or other non-participants.
PTC participants should not plan to have spouses or family members
accompany them.
Can I earn graduate credit?
3 graduate credits are available for each PTC
course through either The College of New Jersey(TCNJ) or
Lehigh University at an additional cost of USD$450 per course.
Representatives of each university are available onsite
during the institutes.
