A Superintendent's View From Abroad

School Administrator, June, 1998 by William Decker

Global Partners

With the increasing use of technology, opportunities now exist for overseas and American schools to develop partnerships to address multicultural understanding, cultural diversity and conflict resolution.

At the moment, the member schools of the Near East/South Asia Council of Overseas Schools are seeking to form partnerships with schools in the United States to address these issues. I invite my colleagues in the United States to join us in this exciting and worthwhile effort.

William Decker is superintendent of the American School of Kuwait, P.O. Box 6735, Hawalli 32042 Kuwait. E-mail: askkwt@kuwait.net.

Previously, he spent 10 years as superintendent in Menasha, Wis.
