SUMMARY:ISANA Vic/Tas & Vision International: “Longing for Belonging” - An investigation into International Student Secondary Student Experience
DESCRIPTION:The pre-COVID-19 five-year period of national enrolment data shows a 25% increase\, from 20\,523 international students in Australian schools in 2015 to 25\,564 in 2019. Statistics from Department of Education\, Skills\, and Employment indicates there remained 20\,424 international students in Australian schools in November 2020 despite continued COVID-19 impacted travel restrictions. Yet\, the majority of research in international education in Australia and internationally has concentrated on international students in tertiary settings. \n  \nThis seminar reports on a research project funded by the Australian Research Council that addresses the teaching\, learning and connectedness of an un(der)examined cohort of young people who complete their secondary school education as international students. The project involves: (1) a survey with international secondary students in Queensland\, New South Wales and Victoria; (2) in-depth interviews with 60 international secondary students in 8 Australian schools (4 government and 4 private schools) in Queensland and Victoria; (3) focus group interviews with domestic students who were in the same year level as the international students; (4) in-depth interviews with school principals and/or international coordinators; (5) in-depth interviews and/or focus groups with small groups of teachers\, and (6) interviews with homestay providers. \n  \nThis seminar will discuss the key findings about international students’ experiences—be they face-to-face\, online\, within or beyond the boundaries of schooling. In particular\, it analyses the impacts of English language competence and online activities on their wellbeing\, belonging and academic performance. It will then address recommendations for practice based on the good practice examples and initiatives that the 8 participating schools are adopting to enhance international students’ learning\, wellbeing and belonging. Links will be made across the school\, VET\, and HE sectors based on parallel projects on international students in these sectors. \n  \nThe seminar is most relevant to international coordinators/international program managers\, teachers\, leaders and practitioners from schools and other education sectors who are concerned about enhancing international students’ experiences and internationalisation of education. The session will be of interest to professional organizations\, government representatives\, and agencies who work with schools and education providers to support international students. \nPresenter:\nLy Tran (PhD) is a Professor in the School of Education\, Deakin University\, Australia and an Australian Research Council Future Fellow. Her research focuses on international students’ experiences\, internationalisation of education\, student mobility\, and staff professional development in international education. She leads a couple projects funded by the Australian Research Council and other organisations on enhancing international students’ experiences and graduate employability. Her research has won a range of awards\, including the 2020 Shining Star Achievement in Research Award in the Noam Chomsky Global Connections Awards. \n

SUMMARY:EducationWeek: A Holistic Approach to Social-Emotional Learning
DESCRIPTION:Registration:  CLICK HERE\nDecades of research show the positive effects of classroom-based social-emotional learning (SEL) programs for children. There’s also broad recognition that benefits are even greater when educators’ SEL is supported and children experience SEL throughout their day: across home\, school\, and out-of-school time environments\, and throughout developmental stages. When implemented holistically – with a coordinated\, community-wide\, and child-centric approach – SEL can build stronger communities and support inclusive\, equitable learning. \nPresenters: \nDuring this webinar\, Committee for Children’s chief executive officer Andrea Lovanhill and vice president of research Tia Kim\, will highlight the research behind the four components of holistic SEL and explore some of the most important features of this approach. Providing a district-level perspective\, Alicia Erwin will share the Metropolitan School District of Wayne Township’s vision and the realities of their implementation as they moved to embrace a more holistic approach to SEL. \nModerator: Jennifer Sanderlin\, Education Partnerships Regional Manager\,  Committee for Children\nThis webinar will provide both theoretical and practical knowledge to inform your plans for the coming school year and help strengthen your school community.

SUMMARY:RMIT University\, Melbourne - Coronavirus and its Impact on International Students: International Education in the Time of Global Disruptions
DESCRIPTION:A One-Day Conference \nConveners: Catherine Gomes (RMIT) and Helen Forbes-Mewett (Monash University) \nThe year 2020 will go down in history as the year that got cancelled due to a global pandemic that disrupted global and local systems in an unprecedented and rapid manner. In a relatively short time\, the COVID-19 coronavirus became a pandemic with devastating effects on societies\, governments and economies world-wide as it challenges the normality of everyday life. Starting out in the Chinese city of Wuhan\, the virus’ lack of discrimination about who and where it infects has had an exceptional impact on international education as destination countries and service providers were some of the early casualties of this evolving health crisis. The result has been almost daily decisions being made about course delivery options with online delivery being the best possible teaching and learning route in the wake of travel bans\, self-quarantine and social distancing in order to limit the spread of the virus on destination country populations. International students have been subject to job losses\, been unable to pay their rent or buy food for themselves. Meanwhile international students\, especially those from China and of East Asian descent have been reporting heightened racism and xenophobia directed their way. While institutions\, governments (federal\, state and local) and various parts of the community. \nWhile COVID-19 has become the quickest acting disruptor the world has ever seen\, what are the effects of both the pandemic and the decisions made by governments and education stakeholders on international education? How can international education move forward and what can it do to futureproof itself in the event of another global disruptor? How have international students been impacted by institutional\, government and community responses to the pandemic? How have international students dealt with these responses? What role has social media played in the way international education and international students are viewed in destination and sender countries? What are the directions and measures international education stakeholders have been taking during the pandemic? What are the directions and measures international education stakeholders should take in order to support international students after the pandemic ends? What lessons are to be learned from the disrupting impact of the pandemic? Is there any fallout from directions and decisions made in response to the pandemic? \nWhile the COVID-19 pandemic is an evolving crisis\, it is one that reveals how international education and international students have become ‘disrupted’ in many ways. This conference aims to not only critically examine the impact of a global disruptor on policies\, procedures\, operations and people around international education but also to open discussion on the direction of future policy and practice in this space. We thus seek papers addressing but not limited to the following issues: \n\nThe impact of institutional\, government and community responses on international students\nThe challenges\, strategies and resilience of international students in the face of a global health crisis and institutional\, government and community responses\nThe impact of a pandemic on the future of internationalization\nSupporting international students during and post-pandemic\nThe impact of institutional\, government and community responses on stakeholder staff and domestic students\nThe impact of a pandemic on international student employment and employability\nCommunication in a time of crisis\nRacism and xenophobia perceived\nSafety and security\nWelfare and Wellbeing\nThe impact of the pandemic on study and non-study aspects of the international student experience\nThe future directions and measures of international education to support international students\n\nTimeline \nAbstracts due: 1 Aug 2020 \nDecision on abstracts: 30 Aug 2020 \nFull papers due: 1 Feb 2021 \nThere will be an opportunity to submit invited papers for publication as a special issue or an edited collection. \nPlease refer to the conference website for more information: https://impactinternationalstudentscorona.wordpress.com/ \n
