After 6 years and 600 schools attending OESIS, we took our network fully online this last year in a Canvas hosted platform called OESIS-XP. Available on a school only basis, we provide the largest repository of recorded and live innovation content for independent schools. Convenient, and at a fraction of the travel costs involved in attending conferences, OESIS-XP provides fast and deep exposure for your faculty and real ease of set up and use. Alongside the webinars (now over 150 and expected to be over 250 by 2019), we have listservs by division and department, and modules called XP pathways we are developing for teachers to find a route to student-centered learning environments. OESIS-XP membership comes with discounts at live conferences and other OESIS services.

TESTIMONIALS
Beth Miller, Associate Head at St. Anne's Belfield (VA): "OESIS-XP is a fantastic investment of PD dollars. My colleagues and I are meeting some incredible educators through our new network. This is our first year with OESIS, and once a few administrators started conversations about the quality and focus of the webinars, other faculty members started to ask to join." Jeff Mitchell, HOS at Currey Ingram Academy (TN) "The forward-thinking and progressive ideas that are typical of the OESIS-XP webinars resonated as we progressed through a year that was ripe with strategic conversations. Whether related to our accreditation self-study, 50th-anniversary plans, the determination of the priorities for a major fundraising campaign or supplementing the Strategic Plan itself, I found that many of the ideas from the webinars were especially helpful as we looked to the future." Joel Backon, Director of Academic Technology at Choate Rosemary Hall (CT): "We are finishing our first year of operation and our subscriber base is growing. I have no reason to believe that it will not expand rapidly now that the word is out regarding the quality of the lists, webinars and other services OESIS is providing." |
