Dear Members,
Welcome to PeerSphere! We are thrilled to have you join our vibrant and dynamic community of international educators and school administrators across Asia. PeerSphere was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: collaboration and shared learning can transform our schools for the better.
Our journey began in 2015 when we met in China, igniting a shared commitment to enhance the professional growth of education professionals. We recognized the untapped potential of collaborative communities. We knew that job-a-likes and teach meets are consistently one of the most valued forms of PD, but they were difficult to sustain by volunteers and often limited to a few big cities. This realization ignited our commitment to create a platform where education professionals can connect, share, and innovate throughout the school year.
At PeerSphere, we nurture communities where you are connected to professionals with a similar role so that you can collaborate and solve meaningful problems together. We achieve this through our interactive live sessions hosted by expert facilitators, combined with a community hub where you can access resources and ask questions any time.
In addition to our 60+ communities, all members can join any of the following events and programmes:
We invite you to dive into our dedicated communities, share your experiences, and collaborate with peers who understand your unique context. Together, we can achieve better outcomes for the students we ultimately serve.
Best wishes,
Ewen Bailey & Michael Iannini
Co-Founders, PeerSphere
