"This book provides very interesting insights in a growing field. Professional development in international schools is a very important topic as it deals with very specific topics such as multiculturalism, integrating a diverse student body and workforce and specific challenges faced by teachers in those contexts. This book is a great resource to be used individually or in trainings." - Bahira Trask, Professor, Human Development and Family Sciences, University of Delaware, USA This edited book offers diverse perspectives on the professional development of faculty, primarily at K-12 international schools. Contributions consider the many and complex facets of professional development - from administrative factors, assessment and accreditation issues to student needs through a diversity, equity and inclusion lens which acknowledges the differences in their backgrounds and cultures. The first part of the book examines the literature on professional development and presents a quantitative and qualitative study of international school leaders views. The second part comprises examples of faculty professional development as testified by scholars who have implemented them in real life. The third part deals with important issues, concepts and applications regarding current faculty professional development such as accreditation, mental health, higher education and cultural identity. The book will appeal to researchers, education faculty and graduate education students. Peggy Pelonis is President of American Community Schools in Athens, Greece, having previously taught at both K-12 and university levels. Thimios Zaharopoulos is former Provost of the American College of Greece and Park University, USA. He currently works as a higher education consultant.
