Text us with topic or guest suggestions! Advisory programs. It seems we either love them – or dread them. The same goes for our students. David and Audrey have encountered a lot of different advisory programs over the years and at various schools, but never one that is as comprehensive and as in tune with all of its stakeholders as the one at the International School of Bangkok. In this show we chatted with Andy Vaughan, Dean of Students at ISB and head architect of their advisory program.&nb...

Who can benefit from life coaching? If you ask Audrey or David, our answer is “Everyone!” When we first learned about life coaching many years ago, with corporate leaders having executive coaches. Over time, however, life coaching has expanded to offer its benefits to a much broader audience.

2025/12/26

Teacher evaluations can vary wildly—sometimes they are regularly scheduled; at other times they happen at the last minute before the school year ends. These appraisals typically involve an administrator observing a classroom lesson, which can feel contrived and stressful, resembling a mere "check-the-box" exercise. Frequently, the focus centers on teacher behaviors rather than examining the impact on student learning outcomes and the actions contributing to those outcomes. In this episode wit...
