Collaboration between EPL and University of Southampton: Empowering Education through Professional Learning Communities
This summer, EPL visited the School of Education at the University of Southampton to discuss a series of collaborations.
Over the following months, Dr Ewan Wright, Assistant Professor of EPL and Programme Leader of the Executive Master of Arts in International Educational Leadership and Change (IELC), EdUHK worked closely with Dr Henry Koge, Teaching Fellow of the University of Southampton to design an online ‘mini-course’ on professional learning communities.
The participants were internationally diverse, creating a unique opportunity for dialogue across different cultural contexts. They came from 14 different countries or jurisdictions.
Ewan noted: “This EdUHK-Southampton collaboration is an excellent opportunity for our students to expand their network internationally and develop practices that can make a positive impact at their schools”.

Renewal of IB authorisation for the Minor in Teaching and Learning in International Schools
We are currently in the process of renewing IB authorisation for the Minor in Teaching and Learning in International Schools. The Minor paves the way for a teaching career in international schools and qualifies students to claim the IB certificate in teaching and learning, which is a valued credential that also offers access to IB resources. We are happy to continue our connection with the IB who will undertake a ‘virtual visit’ at the end of February. Thanks to all involved in the re-authorisation process.
