Come one, come all to the PCA February monthly meeting! This month we have a special guest and AISC parent, Beate Renninger, joining us to talk about the Reiss Motivation Profile (RMP). According to the RMP there are 16 motives that determine our values, behaviors and influence our personality traits. Baete is going to share how understanding your profile can be helpful, particularly when considering a career change or transitioning back to the workplace. Additionally, we will discuss the AISConnect magazine, and we have planned a few interactive activities to learn more about each other!

Join us for the Parents as Partners Webinar Series: Semester 2 with new webinars! To participate you may use the same link you used previously, or you may register again to receive a new email/link.
Webinar #3, Navigating Parental Polarities -- Presented by Carolyn McKanders on Tuesday, February 8, 2022, 7:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Polarities are ongoing, natural tensions that exist in all social systems - communities, families, professional and personal relationships. These times call upon parents to be radically adaptive to meet new challenging demands and complexity -- parents are dealing more and more with paradox and ambiguities. This work helps parents to gracefully model handling life's dilemmas, communicate in ways that honor children's needs as well as those of adults; enhance productive child and parent communication and decision making.
Webinar #4, Why Service Learning Matters to Schools, Your Children and YOU: Bringing Learning to Life – Presented by Cathryn Berger Kaye on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, 7.30pm-8.30pm
Our schools are charged with preparing young people for an ever-changing and complex world. Students are already engaged with real world issues. They care about community health and the environment, and they express compassion for our people, our planet, and animals. Educators can harness the innate desires of children and teens to be creators, catalysts, collaborators and change makers. What to do?
Discover more about the Five Stages of Service Learning, see examples of what youth do, and find out why service learning is integral to international schools all over the world.
NOTE: If you are unable to attend, or you want to listen to the session again, the webinar recordings and slides from the previous sessions are posted on the Parents as Partners Info Hub a day or so after each session.
