International schools like WAB are pushing innovation in learning and teaching, setting new standards in education, and making changes to the traditional ways schools operate.

So how can they ensure that these new approaches and practices will benefit students and communities? On today's episode we're joined by Ashish Trivedi, the International Baccalaureate's (IB) Head of Strategic Initiatives, Innovation and Incubation, and Trillium Hibbeln, Associate Director of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) International.

Right from the beginning of a child's experience at a new school, it's essential that they feel a sense of belonging and care. With the diversity of international school communities, how can we ensure we are able to adapt to meet the academic and social-emotional needs of every individual child?

On today's episode, we sit down for a conversation with WAB's Enriched Inclusion Lead Rovanna Bawden.

With students and teachers excited to be back on campus, one Grade 4 class has turned Fridays into a day of experiential learning. The students are divided into three groups, and every Friday, they rotate between the school's greenhouse, learning kitchen, and makerspace.
