The International School Community (ISC) is excited to announce the launch of our brand-new podcast series, designed to bring the experiences and insights of international school professionals to life in an engaging, accessible format. With the ISC Podcast, we’re transforming the valuable, community-driven comments on our platform into AI-generated episodes that dive deep into individual schools, topics, and international teaching experiences. Our first episode, available now, features a spotlight on the American School of Dubai, based on 217 member-submitted comments from the ISC website.
Episode 01: A Deep Dive into the American School of Dubai
The American School of Dubai (ASD) is renowned in the international education community for its academic standards, diverse community, and unique location in the vibrant city of Dubai. Our members have provided hundreds of insightful comments about various aspects of working and studying at ASD, including everything from school facilities and teaching conditions to local culture and work-life balance. In this episode, we sifted through 217 comments to create a comprehensive profile of ASD, exploring what it’s really like to be part of this school community.
Through this podcast episode, listeners can get a detailed overview of ASD without needing to scroll through all the comments on the website. The 10-14 minute episode brings together a range of perspectives, including the benefits of working at ASD, feedback on administration and leadership, insights on the school’s curriculum, and thoughts on the lifestyle of living in Dubai. This episode captures the collective voice of our members, offering an authentic, multi-dimensional look at ASD through the words of educators and professionals who know the school best.
Why an AI-Powered Podcast?
The ISC Podcast is designed to make our member-submitted information more interactive and accessible. With hundreds of comments available on popular schools (although wonderfully organized, we might add) it can be time-consuming to review all of them individually. By using AI to narrate and summarize these insights, we can create episodes that present key takeaways in a way that’s easy to listen to, on-the-go. It’s a new, innovative way for international school professionals to connect with our content and gain valuable information about schools they may want to work for or collaborate with.
Each episode is crafted to maintain the authenticity of our members’ voices (including dates when these comments were submitted) while providing a structured and engaging listening experience. Our goal is to create content that’s both informative and enjoyable, helping international educators make well-informed decisions about their careers and gain new perspectives on schools worldwide.
Accessing Exclusive Episodes on Patreon
While our debut episode on the American School of Dubai is available to everyone, future episodes will be released exclusively on our Patreon. By joining, members will have special access to full-length episodes featuring profiles of various international schools, topics on teaching abroad, and more. It’s an opportunity for listeners to stay informed and connected with the international school community, all while supporting ISC’s mission to empower educators worldwide.
What to Expect from Future Episodes
The ISC Podcast will continue to bring member insights to life, with each episode focused on a specific school or theme within the international education sector. Whether you’re curious about a particular school, considering a move to a new location, or simply interested in learning more about the challenges and rewards of international teaching, the ISC Podcast is your new go-to resource. Our upcoming episodes will feature a diverse range of schools, making it easier than ever to learn about schools worldwide.
