Case Study 2.8: National, International Global Educator – Alan Preis

Alan Preis

Alan Preis is currently the Director of Technology at Shanghai American School (SAS). For many years before that he held a similar position at Atlanta International School in the USA and very active with the European Council of Independent Schools (ECIS) organisation IT committee. Since venturing into an ‘international’ education position Alan has thrived on immersing himself culturally into life in China. When I was in China in 2016 I visited Alan at SAS and was most impressed with his developing command of Mandarin language.

In the Case Study Alan talks about how he sees ‘international educator’ synonymous with ‘global educator’ with both being about a worldwide view of education and shares,

While “international” speaks to the understanding of different cultures, “global” evokes the idea of seeing these different cultures as part of a connected whole and of forging connections between them.
