The International Schools of Business Management (ISBM) was created more than 50 years ago to improve the teaching and learning that goes on in business schools everywhere. The consortium consists of 12 leading global business schools and is supported by the European Foundation for Management and Development (EFMD). ISBM has been transforming the way that business school professors teach and how business skills are learned. Through its flagship programme, the “International Teachers Programme” (ITP), it has changed the lives and careers of thousands of business school faculty and those who learn from them.
The ITP, a multi-week, in-person programme delivered annually at ISBM member schools, trains participating faculty in “active learning” pedagogies and transforms their mindsets from focussing on teaching to creating environments in which learning comes alive.
The essence of the ITP experience has now been extracted and distilled into ISBM’s newest and most scalable and accessible programme, “The Essentials of Teaching and Learning,” delivered in a remote learning format. Thanks to the power and reach of remote learning technology and in an effort to further its impact, ISBM offers business school faculty everywhere the opportunity to transform their own classrooms – whether intimate seminars for a few dozen students, workshops for executives, or lectures to hundreds – in a way that makes the most of their owns gifts as teachers.
In a series of four half-day, highly interactive, and intensely engaging virtual sessions over four consecutive Fridays, participants will learn key “active learning” approaches that will unlock real learning for their students.
