La Châtaigneraie

Campus

Founded in 1924, the Foundation of the International School of Geneva, commonly known as Ecolint educates 4500 students aged from 3-18 representing over 130 nationalities. Each of our eight schools is dedicated to the development of seven life-worthy, future-ready global competences: we develop lifelong learning, self-agency, the ability to interact with the world, with others and with resources so as to develop transdisciplinary, multiliterate thinking. Through this, we drive our mission, which is to educate students to be global citizens with the courage and capacity to create a just and joyful tomorrow together. Ecolint is built on strong humanitarian values and prides itself on its long history of pedagogical innovation, including the creation of the Model United Nations system and the International Baccalaureate. We have around 1250 employees representing more than 60 nationalities, united as one core of dynamic professionals, committed to our mission.

The La Châtaigneraie Campus is set amidst the picturesque rolling farms and villages of Founex overlooking Lake Geneva not far from the city. With a mix of historic and new buildings, the campus is split into a Primary and Secondary school with a combined total of around 1600 students. We are proud to be an International Baccalaureate World School while also offering our students the option to complete the Swiss Maturité. Our programmes are based on the IB’s ‘Learner Profile’, a set of ideals that inspire, motivate and focus the work of the school and help students to become more thoughtful, grounded, responsible and caring global citizens. Fostering these qualities is at the heart of all we do.  The international team of educators is devoted to supporting and celebrating a diverse population of students.

Responsibilities

  • The role of ICT campus partner is meant to provide campuses with an onsite decision-making presence for support with school and campus ICT operations and educational technology initiatives. Unlike other central administration functions ICT has a significant pedagogical component to its services and support. For this reason, the person assuming the position should be first and foremost an educator possessing considerable experience both in the classroom as well as with the integration of ICT technology in lessons and, more broadly, application across the school curriculum.
  • Lead educational technology integration
  • Inspire and lead the development, communication, and implementation of a shared vision for the comprehensive use of technology in support of a digital-age education.
  • Promote the effective vertical articulation of educational technologies in support of the curriculum.
  • Collaborate with school leadership to create world class student-centered learning environments.
  • Act as a tireless advocate for STEM. Support enthusiastic teaching staff in the development, management and assessment of projects and initiatives.
  • Research, model and share best practices for successfully teaching with technology.
  • Ensure that schools meet the ICT technology requirements of the adopted programmes (PYP, MYP, DP, CP) and take an active role in documenting evidence in line with accrediting service requirements.
  • Demonstrate best practices in the classroom by assuming a teaching role for several periods weekly.
  • Drive staff ICT professional development
  • Create and lead a staff professional development program so that it is aligned with both the ICT requirements stipulated in the employee core requirements as well as the ongoing objectives articulated for and by schools and departments.
  • Identify and organise training opportunities that align with strategic ambitions and make them available to staff.
  • Administer a database to collect data and allow for the real-time monitoring of compliance with program requirements.
  • Develop tools, metrics and methodologies to measure program impact.
  • Manage educational technology initiatives and innovation
  • Support and guide projects that demonstrate and confirm Ecolint’s position as a leader in educational technology innovation such as the development of online course provision.
  • Recognize technological opportunities in education and play a leading role in their successful and meaningful introduction.
  • Establish partnerships with organizations and experts with whom the school can continue to benchmark and incorporate best practices.
  • Oversee campus ICT service and support delivery
  • Assume line management of the ICT helpdesk technicians.
  • Collaborate closely with both school leadership and Foundation ICT to assess ongoing ICT needs/issues and recommend fit-for-purpose solutions.
  • Ensure ICT services (helpdesk, system, network, application, etc.)  are providing value according to existing service level agreements (SLA) concluded with Foundation ICT.
  • Foster compliance with ICT policies and procedures to assist with efficient service and support provision.
