76. Chapters of Our International Careers and What They Teach Us: Meet Long-Time Veteran Mark Lewis
As international educators, like so many others, in a sense, we tend to write chapters to our life stories. These stories can be organized by countries, schools, travel, and, of course, the regular categories of relationships, family, children, aging, and so on. We were fortunate to catch our guest, Mark Lewis, just as he was reflecting about the chapters of his international experiences, with his retirement coming up in a couple of months. Mark is a seasoned international educator with exper...

75. Get Well Soon(ish)! Laying the Groundwork for Much-Needed, Sustainable, Holistic Wellness Programs.

74. Smile! You're Starting a New School. A Candid Conversation with a Master School Starter, ASB Director Dave McMaster.
If you’ve ever visited the International Schools Services website, you may have noticed at some stage that they added a button at the top that said “start a school”. The button has now moved to the bottom of the page, but it’s still there. For us, it always felt like that line from the movies, “I wonder what happens if I press this button?” Well, Dave McMaster is a brave soul who has “pushed the button” on starting a school, not once, but three times. We think it’s fair to say that Dave knows...

73. Retrospective: The Lincoln School, Kathmandu - At 71, Still A Special Place
How do international schools get their start- in particular the original ones from so many years ago? Many of them had very humble beginnings, with a handful of students, a few parents (usually spouses of diplomats or business people who had moved overseas) and a large house or a few rooms where lessons could be held. At 71 years of age, The Lincoln School in Kathmandu, Nepal is one such school. In this “case study-style” interview, we were lucky enough to be able to speak with Barbara ...

71. Fostering Global Citizens Through Service Learning: Stories of Changemaking, with LeeAnne Lavender
Most international schools make it part of their mission to nurture global citizens who are in service to their community. Like all big, worthy goals, this needs lots of planning, implementation support, and accountability to determine if the school is on track. The usual questions come into play: who, what, why, etc. -- with the "how" being most prominent in our interview with LeeAnne Lavender, who helps schools with their service learning and global citizenship development efforts.

Just as before, Michael tackled our questions with vigor and showed an incredible depth of knowledge. We are curious about the concept of “future-proofing” education, so it made sense to consider Michael’s take as a future-focused thinker.
