8 International Boys’ Schools Coalition IBSC Action Research Program, 2014 – 2015

Boys as Global Citizens In 2005, the IBSC launched Action Research in Boys’ Schools, an expression of our mission to promote the collaboration of educators in member schools from around the world. Since then, research teams have completed projects and reported their findings at IBSC Annual Conferences throughout the globe. To date, more than 350 teachers have participated in the program, and many have become instructional leaders for action research in their schools, and have presented at many conferences beyond the IBSC. Learn more about this year’s Boys as Makers team, and the Boys as Global Citizens team for 2015-2016 on the IBSC website.

Congratulations to the team for their outstanding work! Please visit our website to read bios and learn more about the IBSC Action Research Team Advisors and their work.

The IBSC Action Research Team will be presenting their research finding in Indaba 3. See page 34 for more information.

2015 Annual Conference Program 9 The Hawley-Jarvis IBSC Service Award

The Hawley-Jarvis IBSC Service Award is named for Dr Richard Hawley and Reverend Tony Jarvis, early influential leaders of the International Boys’ Schools Coalition. This is the first annual award presented by the IBSC that honors outstanding educators who celebrate the lives and education of boys, and honours the spirit of servant leadership that continues to inspire the work of the Coalition. This year’s recipient is Dianne Patricia Laycock. Ms Laycock is the Head of Library Services for The King’s School, . Since 2005, Ms Laycock has been an active member and leader of the IBSC Action Research Program, and the current coordinator since 2011. All of us in the IBSC thank Ms Laycock for her dedicated service and outstanding research.

IBSC Student Forum

In coordination with the Annual Conference in Cape Town, Montgomery Bell Academy (USA), St Christopher’s School (USA), and boys from across the IBSC global community participated in the third annual IBSC Student Forum: Civil Rights, Human Rights, and the American Experience in Nashville, Tennessee (USA). This incredible opportunity is based on the principle that education includes learning not only how to grow intellectually, physically, and emotionally, but also how to provide those opportunities for others while simultaneously offering opportunities to build a stronger community. Participation in programs that teach historical lessons about common challenges that face our communities help the boy move beyond single- minded thinking about personal well-being by broadening his awareness of others. Emphasis was placed on the importance of informed optimism, focused generosity, deliberate planning, and energetic action to effect positive change.

The IBSC and Online School for Boys: Online Education in the Tradition

Join the IBSC and Online School for Boys (OSB) for an exciting collaboration in online learning. These programs will allow boys’ school faculty members and administrators to become familiar with new teaching paradigms and explore those with a cohort of fellow boys’ school educators. We have already hosted three successful online classes, and so consider joining us for one of these upcoming courses.

32 International Boys’ Schools Coalition 2015 Annual Conference Program 33 Indaba 3 - Celebrating the Present: Action Research Boys as Makers | 2:00 – 3:00PM

The contemporary Maker Movement puts a label on something that humans have always done and will always do; make things to solve problems that are personally meaningful. However, what distinguishes the contemporary Maker Movement from previous notions of making is the potential use of technology that allows traditional making to be extended and reshaped, and new forms of making to be pursued. Technology also enables what has often been considered a private pursuit to become a shared one. Along with its potential to foster creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making, the practical hands-on and technology focus of Making render it a natural fit with the learning styles of many boys. It is for these reasons that Boys as Makers was designated the research topic for the IBSC Action Research Program in 2014-2015. In this conference strand, thirty-nine action research projects offer examples of Maker Learning across a wide range of topics, grade levels and subjects. As well as enhancing the researchers’ own practice, the research findings will make a significant contribution to research into Maker Learning and add to the knowledge base of pedagogy in boys’ schools.
