International Education Consulting

Improve retention. Strengthen your workforce. Protect your school’s reputation.

At Aissen Education Consulting, we help international schools identify workforce issues, create evidence-based retention plans, and put practical solutions in place to keep teachers and leaders.

Why it matters

  • High staff turnover raises costs, disrupts learning, and weakens community trust.

  • International schools face extra challenges: expat contracts, cultural transitions, visas, pay competitiveness, and accreditation.

  • Data-driven retention programs cut recruitment costs, stabilize teaching quality, and support long-term planning.

Explore Our Services

We offer a range of services designed to help you move forward with confidence, wherever you're headed next.

  • Ideal for: Schools testing the process for the first time, or with limited budget for a full external audit.

    ●      Guided use of the 9-domain rubric with the school's own review team (leadership, HR, teacher representatives)

    ●      Facilitation of the scoring session and evidence-gathering process

    ●      Written interpretation of the resulting score and category (Exemplary / Proficient / Developing / At Risk)

  • Ideal for: Schools wanting a rigorous, externally validated baseline, especially before a strategic planning or budget cycle.

    ●      Structured interviews across staff levels, document review, and survey administration

    ●      Independent scoring against the rubric, calibrated against the school's own self-reported scores

    ●      Identification of perception gaps between leadership and staff — often the most actionable finding

    ●      Full written report with domain-by-domain findings and a prioritized action plan

    ●      Live debrief session with leadership and/or board

  • Ideal for: Any international school with staff turnover.

    ●      Neutral, third-party exit interviews using a standardized protocol

    ●      Removes the bias risk of a school interviewing its own departing staff

    ●      Annual theme reports tracking recurring drivers of departure over time

    ●      Optional: anonymized "what we heard, what changed" summary for remaining staff

  • Ideal for: Between full audits — e.g., after a leadership transition, a compensation review, or a specific complaint pattern.

    ●      Focused assessment of 1–2 rubric domains rather than the full nine

    ●      Fast turnaround, lower cost — a good on-ramp for first-time clients before a full audit or a quick check to assess interventions

  • Ideal for: Schools that have audit results in hand and need help converting findings into a resourced, prioritized plan.

    ●      Facilitated session translating findings into 1–2 priority investments per cycle

    ●      Board-ready framing: what to fund, what to defer, and how to track progress to the next assessment cycle
