IETP Publications

The following are available for sale from the International Educators Training Program (IETP): 
Title: Training for International Educators in Canada: A Competency-Based Approach (Wayne Myles and Sherri Corrie)
Price: $25.00 + HST
Description: In the spring of 2004, IETP Director Wayne Myles and private consultant Sherri Corrie completed a research paper which identifies many of the competencies that the various groups of international education professionals possess. The paper divides international educators into three groups with respect to level of competency: “entry level” which includes those with zero to two years of experience in their positions; those at the “mid-career” level typically have two to five years of experience; “senior” international educators have been in the field more than five years, and are typically managers, directors, vice presidents, and presidents who are addressing the questions and challenges of internationalization within their organizations. The competencies--general to international educators, and specific to groups within the field and levels of experience--provide the foundation for the IETP course curriculum. The original publication was revised in the spring of 2008 and the revised edition is now available.Order Form
