Symposium on Supporting Academics to Become International Educators through Professional Learning Communities

Original language description

A Professional Learning Community (PLC) on internationalisation as a learning method can appropriately develop educators&apos; skills in designing and delivering international courses. A PLC can also help curriculum designers understand how to design curricula for courses with international students and what not to overlook when designing, implementing and evaluating them. PLCs typically consist of teachers, administrators, and sometimes other university staff members who come together to engage in ongoing professional development, reflective dialogue, data analysis, and collaborative problem-solving. PLC members share a common vision of high-quality education and set specific goals to guide their collaborative efforts. PLCs foster a culture of trust, respect, and collaboration among members, where they freely exchange ideas, resources, and feedback. PLCs are committed to ongoing learning and improvement, seeking out strategies and best practices to enhance the internationalisation of teaching and learning. PLC members recognize that their collaborative efforts have a direct impact on student outcomes, and they engage in regular reflection on their teaching practices, curriculum, and assessment strategies, seeking to identify strengths and areas for growth. PLCs can take various forms, including grade-level or subject-area teams, interdisciplinary teams, or university-wide teams or even cross-institutional PLCs. The session will present how a Professional Learning Community can be used in developing academics as international educators in a cross-institutional and even cross-national setting. They may meet regularly during scheduled planning periods and/or professional development days. Professional learning communities play a vital role in fostering teacher collaboration, improving instructional practices, and ultimately enhancing student achievement. By working together towards common goals, educators can create a supportive environment where all students have the opportunity to succeed. The symposium aims to provide a platform for academics, educators, administrators, and practitioners to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and explore best practices in internationalization through PLCs.
