Abstract

This chapter will examine the pre-arrival, arrival and orientation, and transition phases of international school onboarding programs. The elements are the social media group, internet platform, airport protocol, arrival dossier, orientation schedule, events itinerary, and transition partnership. The phases were delineated based on a robust literature review and Klein and Heuser's inform-welcome-guide framework. The elements were created in alignment with the adult learning principles put forth by Knowles et al. and the concept of fulfilling a newcomer's psychological contract. The three phases and seven elements of the international school onboarding program are substantiated and moderately substantiated using the Delphi method. International school leaders, educators, and coordinators can use the findings to create a site-specific onboarding program.
