Host School


Concordia International School Shanghai is a co-educational day school for students aged 3 to 18, located in the heart of Jinqiao—one of Shanghai’s largest international communities. Concordia is recognized for its dedication to academic excellence and for providing well-developed sports, arts, service and cultural learning programs. Our caring, passionate and award-winning faculty deliver a comprehensive American curriculum and pioneer programs that guide students toward life success, no matter how they define it.

Concordia is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) since 2000 and the National Lutheran School Accreditation Commission (NLSA) since 2015.


Our approach to education centers around holism and providing authentic learning opportunities for our students. At Concordia, it’s not just about grades. It’s about balance. When we say we educate the whole child we mean that we invest in and tend to every part of each student: spiritually, physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually. In doing so, we seek to provide students relevant, authentic experiences in which they can pursue areas of passion and explore new interests. Through applied learning courses and activities throughout the grade levels, students are applying critical thinking skills, creative problem solving, and knowledge integration across disciplines. Applied learning is found in virtually all areas of the curriculum, from science to the visual arts.

By partnering with engaged parents to help students find their own unique balance, we cultivate the best outcomes for each student. It is the community at Concordia that creates the ideal foundation for the entire family’s success.

Keynote Presentation


Subtle Art of Not Giving a ____

How do we align the professional learning model with a vision of learning? While this can require very specific steps for different schools, there are some helpful universal considerations when planning for professional learning in your institution. Come discuss how to make small changes that have a large impact in shifting your school's culture into one where everyone learns and engages, together. Come find out how to fill in the missing blanks.


60-minute Sessions

“Everyone deserves a coach!”


Session Focus: Coaching

Session objectives:
  1. Reflect on the value of a coach
  2. Take away a professional growth plan for coaches to modify for your school’s context
“Coaching done well may be the most effective intervention designed for human performance.” -surgeon-writer Atul Gawande


Combining Cognitive Coaching® skills, competency and humility helps build a powerful culture of collaboration, reflection and productivity. How does a coach model this? What is a coach exactly, anyway?

Come check out how KIS’s teaching & learning coaching program was implemented in 2018 and continuing strong. You’ll be able to walk away with a professional growth plan for coaches designed with Cognitive Coaching®’s four roles of a coach that you can modify to fit your own school’s vision and mission.


Target Audience: Coaches and collaborating teachers

Note: This session will be presented at two breakout sessions.



90-minute Session

“What’s your problem?”

Session Focus: Leadership

Session Objectives:
  1. Have fun
  2. Take away examples and a plan of how to #LiftEachOtherUp
How do we build a strong culture of collaboration and doers? We all want it in theory. So, we wait. Wait for “the boss” to do something because it’s their job - to make something better, to do something sensible to fix our problems. But what if we didn’t? What if we took the proactive approach to our problems and be solution seekers, together?

Come see some concrete and creative problem-solving examples by educators. Then let’s take the time with guided protocols to build an action plan that works for you and the culture of your school. Every school’s got 99 problems, but you ain’t need to be one.

Target Audience: Leaders and Teachers
