International schools in Thailand have popped up §like mushrooms in the past decade due to the demand §for the English language skills among Thai students §to further their education in both overseas and §local universities.§Being a veteran teacher of Ruamrudee International §School (RIS)and Redeemer International School §Thailand (RIST) , Dr. Somyos Lorwatanapongsa probed §into the roles and responsibilities of well §respected international schools principals in §Bangkok, Thailand for his GRACE model and provided §practical tips for the prospective international §school principals and the Thai counterparts as well §as the international communities. §The four contributing research questions for which §the book attempted to answer were:§1. What are the professional roles and §responsibilities international school principals §have had to learn to carry out?§2. What are the ways their workplace have §helped their professional learning?§3. What are the ways their workplaces have §hindered their professional learning?§4. What are the ways they believe their §workplaces could best support their professional §learning?
