Masterclass

The International Education Masterclass (IEMC) is a professional development programme designed to build capacity at local level to promote and support activity in schools.

It is managed by Learning and Teaching Scotland, funded by the Scottish Government, and brings together participants from each Scottish local authority and other national organisations.

The first Masterclass residential programme for local authority international education coordinators began the process in March 2006. Since then, around 120 more teachers and education staff have participated in the programme.

An online community exists to support these education professionals in their international education activity in Scotland. It provides a forum for all the coordinators, Masterclassers and others who are involved in the IEMC programme, where they can share views and ideas on policy and practice, exchange information and resources, and develop new practice.
