TAISI TEACHERS’& MIDDLE MANAGEMENT

THE ASSOCIATION OF INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS OF INDIA

EXCELLENCE THROUGH COLLABORATION

Radisson Blu, Amritsar

We are thrilled to be trying a new format for this year’s Teachers’ Conference. We have been fortunate, all these years, to have had speakers who have been able to straddle the whole school, delivering outstanding, quality PD to teachers from the Early Years right through to High School. But this year, we thought we’d give teachers a very focussed two-days, where they can really dig their heels in. Partnering with ECIS was only logical – their network of speakers is incomparable! We are proud of where we find ourselves today, and we hope to be able to continue to count on your support
