About me
Simon Probert is Deputy Head at Harrow Shanghai. He has been based in and around East Asia since 2008, and alongside an interest in Chinese culture and language, has developed a strong interest in ways in which the values of international schools are reflected in the cultural contexts in which they operate. This has been the focus of his doctorate which has examined student perceptions of internationalism in international schools, as well as his professional role where he has spent time reflecting on ways local values and culture can be integrated into the curricula and ethos of the schools he has worked in. He has published a number of papers on this, including two in the Journal of Research in International Education, as well as appearing on Shane Leaning's Global Ed Leaders Podcast.
