Since August 2024, the Office of Overseas of Schools has been working with an international task force to develop a business models playbook to assist international schools to expand and enhance the development of student support services programs. In this first session (part one of two), we will focus on context development – making the case to stakeholders for expanding and enhancing learning support programs, helping school communities move past the myths that inhibit change, and the work of cultivating a culture that embraces neurodivergence. Some time will also be given to sharing stories of success.

1. Understand the process of developing a business models playbook for student support services in international schools.
2. Deepen understanding of the work of clarifying the imperatives for change.
3. Deepen understanding of the importance of culture and myth management in a change process.
