CIS’s Evaluator Bulletin announces eligibility changes for volunteer accreditation evaluators: from 2027, evaluators must be employed at a current CIS Member School to serve on visits, and from 2028 team leaders (chairs/co-chairs/peers) face added experience and engagement requirements — relevant if Michael or ICS colleagues serve as CIS evaluators. Also features thought-leadership pieces on AI and social responsibility in international schools (a new CIS taskforce on emerging tech), four patterns of strong multilingual-learning practice drawn from 299 accreditation reports, and a school PD story on social capital.
