This one-day virtual workshop is designed to give all educators tools to create an inclusive classroom that fosters thoughtful, deliberative dialogue around the pressing cultural and political issues facing our world, with a focus on the coming U.S. elections. Educators are encouraged to attend in teams to help create a more cohesive school-wide approach for engaging in conversations around contested issues.

In this NAIS webinar from our 2023-2024 School Sustainability Series, probe such questions as you discover new research from NAIS and new data that the Student Exchange Visitors Program (SEVP) has shared with NAIS about F-1 international students in the United States.

One of our current NAIS Global Ambassadors from a member school will also share her experiences recruiting international students this year.
