If school leaders want high-quality programs with substance and measurable results, they need to look no further than investing in their faculty and staff development.

Over the past weeks, through conversations with many parents, teachers, and school administrators, I’ve become increasingly aware of two faulty assumptions that are exacerbating the current crisis. The first is a false belief that a previous definition of “normalcy” can be achieved on our campuses during the pandemic.  The Gateway International School System (Vietnam) has contracted the GLOBAL School Consulting Group to provide comprehensive professional development services to the teachers and instructional leaders of the system’s schools for the 2020-21 school year.
