Presentation Description (for publishing in the conference program)
The Council of International Schools (CIS) evaluates and supports over 750 high quality, diverse school communities around the world. This work exposes us to innovative programs and leading evidence-driven practice which have shaped global standards and indicators – the foundation of our evaluative work now conducted in 116 countries. The impact of this work has expanded, now gaining the attention of ministries and departments of education who are increasingly interested in collaboration and formal recognition of CIS International Accreditation in fulfilling local/national quality assurance requirements. We will describe specific means of collaboration in three countries: Australia, Kazakhstan and the United States, and how universities globally consider CIS International Accreditation as part of their admission processes.
