Job Description of ISA coordinators

The responsibility of bringing international dimension to the school functioning was equally shared by both the co-coordinators and they worked together as a team. The rule followed by the ISA coordinator to achieve success was simply based on ‘Work Smart’. Both the coordinators worked with great passion and were efficiently able to involve the whole school including staff and students in their attempts to bring the‘International Policy’ of the school into practice. To achieve this, the coordinators initiated by giving an insight of ISA to all the students and teachers with forthcoming international school programs in the school premises. This was done during ‘special assemblies’ in the morning and dedicated classroom sessions. 

PREPARATION OF ISA ACTION PLAN 

All the teachers of the school were requested by the coordinators to plan activities which could lead to some International learning and integrate maximum number of subject areas with the contribution from all teachers keeping in mind the requirements aims and motives of ISA an action plan was prepared and submitted. 

EXECUTING THE ACTION PLAN 

ISA coordinators took the responsibility of communicating the details of activities to be done with the studentsto the concerned teachers. Teachers under the guidance of Principal and coordinators implemented the activities in a positive environment and the desired outcomes were achieved. At this step coordinators mostly worked as a guide or facilitator. 

COMPILING OF DOSSIER 

ISA coordinators collected/gathered all the evidences for all the activities and compiled them in the form of a dossier. The important information to be put in dossier was also reached and included. Coordinators prepared the coversheets and cover pages, Introduction etc. for all activities and finally the dossier was successfully submitted.
 

INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL PROGRAM 

ISA Coordinators shouldered the most important responsibility of preparing all staff members and students and convincing them to begin with an international approach in teaching learning process in their classrooms. For this, they executed the idea of International School Program which included many more International activities other than those stated in the ISA Action Plan. 

IMPLEMENTING INTERNATIONAL POLICY 

The International Policy was framed after taking inputs from the students council, staff members and the school management. The ISA Coordinators had the major responsibility of implementing the newly formulated ‘International Policy’ in the school.

  • The coordinators organized different activities based on International approach which included International Exhibition in school, Class decoration on International themes, Display boards in foreign languages etc. which were not a part of ISA Action Plan.
  • The coordinators arranged and prepared students for Face to Faith Video Conferencing sessions.
  • The coordinators worked towards organizing different exchange programs and arranging activities to make such exchange programs a useful learning experience.
  • The coordinators selected some students to form a Students’ Council for looking after the International Work being taken up in the school.
  • The coordinators also had the responsibility of uploading the report of all additional International Activities at the blog: ‘www.learninginternationally.blogspot.com’.

ISA Coordinators at D.A.V. Public School, Khera Khurd, Delhi basically shared all the responsibilities related to popularizing, planning, implementing and compiling all activities based on an International approach which took place in school during last session. The coordinators worked under the guidance of Principal, Ms. Monika Mehan to popularize ISA in the school premises through International School Program. These efforts have reaped rich benefits for the DAV Khera Khurd Community. By sowing the seeds of International learning in the school and nurturing it into a colorful garden curriculum, we are now ready to bask in its fragrance. 

We are sure that through education and exchange, we can become better collaborators and partners with our fellow citizens at the global level.
 

We are hopeful that we will be able to develop a mutually beneficial global culture that respects diversity and promotes peace, brotherhood, and sustainable development in this world.
