International schools by their very nature have a high number of EAL learners among their pupil cohorts, but not all assessments typically used by these schools are appropriate for these learners. This webinar, presented by Dr. Helen Wood, Head of School Partnerships at Password Testing, introduces both educators and admissions staff to key research regarding language proficiency and EAL learner progress and attainment. Together we will consider the roles of validity and reliability in the testing and placement of EAL learners in English medium instructions schools. The webinar content will raise your awareness of the language required for success in the socio-academic environment of the international school and help senior members of staff consider how to improve the efficiency and accuracy of their admissions assessments, whilst simultaneously adapting to the COVID-19 context.

Student engagement is a core part of the COBIS school membership offer with many schools citing it as a reason for their ongoing membership. In this webinar, we look at how Discovery Education has partnered with COBIS on the Coding Competition and how this has helped them to engage with more member schools. Hazel Carter from Discovery Education will talk about her experience, now the partnership is in its second year, what she has learned and how it has shaped Discovery Education’s relationship with COBIS member schools.
