ISTLC Live! Leadership Panel on International School Technology Leadership

Whether your background is in education or IT, leading technology in an international school means bridging three worlds – strategy and systems, pedagogy and infrastructure, vision and day-to-day operations. We’d like to invite you to a live panel where experienced technology leaders and ISTLC graduates share how they navigate exactly that.

The 60-minute panel covers:

– What effective technology leadership looks like in an international school today
– How technology leaders build real partnerships and lead through influence rather than authority
– First-hand experiences from graduates of the International School Technology Leadership Certification (ISTLC)

You’ll hear from our panel:

– Ryan Persaud – Head of School, International School of Bonn (ISTLC Advisory Board)
– John Mikton – Digital Learning Facilitator, International School of Geneva (ISTLC Advisory Board)
– Dr. Daniela Silva Chong – Executive Director of Strategy, ESG & Innovation, International School of Curitiba
– Cherry Siddall – Design & Technology Teacher, Canggu Community School
– Shannon Doak – Director of Technology, Nanjing International School
– Mike Gooch – ICT Manager, HOPE International School
– Maureen Cullen – Middle School Technology Coordinator, AES New Delhi

Facilitated by:

– Warren Apel, Director of Technology, AISJ and Facilitator of ISTLC
– Justin Hardman, CEO, 21st Century Learning.

There will be time for your questions, and we’ll share about the next ISTLC cohorts:
– November 2026 in Hong Kong
– April 2027 in Bonn
– May 2027 in Dubai
