On Monday 14th August, The International School of Moscow welcomed new and existing teachers back to school ready for the new academic year. Induction Week, a pivotal event in the school calendar, is a time where the foundations of the year are laid. This year's induction week was a dynamic fusion of cultural nurturing and practical classroom preparation.
The week kicked off with an unwavering focus on fostering a positive school culture. The team meticulously curated sessions that highlighted the core values, mission, and shared aspirations of the school. Teachers were immersed in discussions, workshops, and team-building activities, all aimed at instilling a sense of belonging and a commitment to collaborative excellence.
While the leadership team focused on the culture of the school, teachers were equally busy preparing their classrooms. The excitement was palpable as classrooms were transformed into vibrant havens of learning, meticulously arranged to inspire creativity and engagement.
A highlight of the week was the additional training session for Primary Teachers. This training revolved around 'Talk for Writing', an innovative writing structure devised by renowned educator Pie Corbett. Through workshops and interactive sessions, teachers delved into the intricacies of this method, equipping themselves to empower students with effective writing skills and a profound appreciation for language.
The International School of Moscow is ready for the new academic year.
Have a great term!
A child’s youngest years are a jubilant journey of discovery, exploration and growth. The impact of the caring attention we provide during these youngest years will echo through the rest of their lives.
Did you know… a child’s brain is already 90-95% of its adult size before entering Primary school. They will develop a great deal yet, but the foundational structure has been set.
We were thrilled to hear from Elbina, one of our graduating Class of 2018, who was visiting Russia to spend time with her family over the New Year holiday.
Elbina, who graduated from ISM almost six years ago, has completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Biology at the University of St Andrews, and is now midway through her PhD study in the field of medicine.
Elbina enthusiastically agreed to visit her old school to speak with our Sixth Form students, and share her expertise about what to expect from university life, how to get the best results in your degree, and those important next steps after graduation.
