The International Schools of Business Management (ISBM) was created more than 50 years ago to improve the teaching and learning that goes on in business schools everywhere. Through its flagship programme, the âInternational Teachers Programmeâ (ITP), it has transformed the lives and careers of thousands of business school faculty and those who learn from them.
The ITP, a multi-week, in-person programme delivered annually at ISBM member schools, trains participating faculty in âactive learningâ pedagogies and transforms their mindsets from focussing on teaching to creating environments in which learning comes alive. The essence of the ITP experience has now been extracted and distilled into ISBMâs newest and most scalable and accessible programme, âThe Essentials of Teaching and Learning,â delivered in a remote learning format.
The Essentials
Given the wide array of teaching and learning opportunities that exists for business school faculty these days, your first question is likely to be, âWhatâs in it for me?â and, perhaps, whatâs in it for your institution, as well.
What’s in it for me?
- Proven content: The âessentialsâ distilled from the ITP.
- Your best self: Thereâs no single best way to teach. Weâll help you develop your own unique identity as a teacher.
- An international network: Youâll get hands-on, highly interactive learning in the company of dozens of highly motivated and like-minded international faculty peers, all of whom care about excellence in teaching.
- An enhanced reputation: Learn from and get to know star faculty from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds from some of the worldâs top business schools.
- Fun, passion, and purpose: Youâll learn how to shape your classroom culture to deliver amazing experiences for every student.
- Impact:Â Most of us donât teach just to make a living. Weâre teachers who want to make a difference in the lives and careers of those we teach. The âEssentials of Teaching and Learningâ programme will boost your impact.Â
Who should join?
- Inspiration: The transformation of your institutionâs culture from one of teaching to one of creating learning environments is inspiring to behold and to be a part of.
- Credibility: Show your faculty, students, and other stakeholders that your institution values and supports excellence in teaching.
- Enhanced student experience: Your studentsâ learning experience matters!
- Faculty recruitment and retention: Attracting and retaining top faculty gets more difficult every year. Faculty appreciate working for institutions that invest in developing their skills.
- Relevance: Organisations of all kinds â pretty much everywhere â need to be better managed. Your institution, drawing on the more than 50 years of learning from the ISBM consortium schools, can lead the way.
