The International Teachers
Program Philosophy
The International Teachers Program (ITP) is a faculty-development program organized by theInternational Schools of Business Management (ISBM), a group of ten leading business schools located in Europe and the United States. ITP also welcomes business educators from outside ISBM.
ITP has served over 1,000 high-caliber faculty and educators from many countries since it started more than 30 years ago. During this period, the Program has rotated between ISBM Schools. ITP will be hosted by the Kellogg School of Management in 2010 and 2011.
Business education is simultaneously one of the most challenging and exciting endeavors. Business plays an important role in many of the world’s major challenges and opportunities, from the environment to globalization. It is our role as educators to prepare leaders for the future to be capable of turning every challenge into an opportunity. It is our challenge to combine rigor and relevance so that our students can analyze an issue in depth and generate new ideas that are applicable in practice.
As we look to the future of business education, the following trends stand out:
➤Our students are increasingly diverse in terms of educational background, culture, age, and experience. ➤The business education environment is increasingly competitive, and the expectations of our students
and their prospective employers continue to rise.
➤As businesses globalize and the pace and complexity grow, integrative thinking on the part of our graduates is essential for their future success.
➤Faculty are being challenged to excel at both research and teaching in an increasingly demanding environment.
The International Teachers Program leverages top educational experts and practitioners drawn from around the world in a highly-interactive learning environment. Participants will leave the Program with improved skills and a greater understanding of a wide range of teaching techniques, styles, methods, and formats.

A General Overview
Business education requires the ability to blend theory and practice in an engaging manner. As educators, our challenge is to help students develop broad, holistic frameworks for analyzing business, while each one of us focuses on going deep into our area of expertise. We want our students to learn integrative thinking while we teach them functional topics in depth. To be successful in this effort, business educators need to develop a unique set of skills and capabilities.
TheInternational Teachers Programis an intensive faculty-development program dedicated to helping business educators develop suitable skills and capabilities to be successful in their careers. The Program benefits from the participation of a diverse group of top-notch teachers and professionals from around the world who not only have a passion for teaching business topics but also a passion for teaching how to teach. They form a unique faculty whose objective is to provide Program participants with ideas, suggestions and techniques to improve their skills and the way they teach and interact with students and executives. The Program also provides several opportunities for participants to exchange ideas and learn from each other.
Improving Skills
A complete business instructor must be able to manage a wide range of elements:
1. Integration of Content:ensuring that the material being taught integrates with other areas that students are learning and provides a holistic framework they can bring to business;
2. Tools and Techniques:designing effective presentations, delivery of lectures, leading case discussion, the use of simulations, and the interaction between teaching and media. Active learning can be profitably used in order to enhance the instructor’s performance;
3. Different Contexts:undergraduate, MBAs, executives, and large audiences must be approached with different styles even if the topic is the same.
