IB Professional Development Workshops are classified as Category 1, 2, or 3.
What's the difference? Per the IBO...
Choose Category 1 if you are new to the IB or if your situation is similar to any of the following:
- You are new to the faculty of a longstanding IB World School and have not taught in an IB programme previously
- You are aware of the IB philosophy and programme structure but are not experienced in teaching or administrating the IB
- You are familiar with the IB subject guide (including assessment procedures and moderation) and would like greater confidence before teaching a course
- You have inherited a course and would like to review the subject content before teaching it to suit your own style and expertise
Choose Category 2 workshops to develop your expertise in delivering an IB programme. You will have an opportunity to:
- make connections between programme frameworks and classroom practice
- enhance your understanding of assessment in IB programmes
- discuss and analyse standards and practices
Choose Category 3 workshops to go more deeply into areas you enjoy and to strengthen your understanding and mastery of a particular subject.
