The pilot program cohort of the Global Action Research Collaborative on Girls’ Education (GARC) explored the topic “Feedback to Move Forward, Thrive, and Grow.” And while a pilot program typically tests the waters of a new initiative, neither we nor these inspirational educators anticipated the global tsunami of the COVID-19 pandemic and its profound impact on our communities. What these Fellows have accomplished as a part of the GARC program is impressive. That they accomplished this, however, while switching to remote learning, juggling families and teaching, and midstream shifting methods for gathering data, is—simply put—extraordinary. I want to take a moment to offer my sincere appreciation to these trailblazing Fellows for never wavering, no matter how stormy the seas, for shifting course while doing double and triple duty, and for remaining steadfast in their commitment to this program.
ICGS sends regular newsletters on research to Heads, Headteachers, and Principals for sharing within their communities. These newsletters cover topics related to girls, girls' education, girls' development, and other issues related to working in girls' schools.
The ICGS Global Action Research Collaborative is an 18-month action research program where educators in member schools study their classrooms to better understand effective teaching practices for girls. Their findings are published in our library every year.
