I participated in IB #MYP Introductory - Developing the MYP #workshop (face-to-face) and get my first #certificate from International Baccalaureate 🌍
I am grateful to the management of 132-134 Educational Complex for providing us with this workshop, and now feel more confident in #designing the unit for Middle Years Program and understand the #philosophy of the International Baccalaureate 👩🏫

I completed International Baccalaureate MYP Sciences (English) Workshop on Category 1, which lasted a month (1st of February, 2023 - 1st of March, 2023), and it was #online 🖥 It is my second IB workshop. This workshop was in the English language, too 📌
💡 I improved #unit designing skills, and participants worked on identifying #key concepts, #related concepts, and #global context based on the unit, and formed a #statement of inquiry. Formation of #inquiry questions ❓ such as #factual, #conceptual, and #debatable was one of the assignments. Determining #objectives, particular #criteria, and #strands of #formative and #summative assessments was a challenging part of the #workshop ✒
🟡 I dug deeper into the Approaches to learning (#ATL) statement with ATL category, ATL cluster, indicator, and objective with the strand. To be honest, now I am more aware of how all these staffs are related to each other, and thinking comprehensively can help the teacher to design a better unit 🌐 I also improved my knowledge of the #IB learner profile, #assessment, #community, and #personal projects. Discussion with well-experienced teachers, and learning their experiences to share my experience with them made the learning process much more enjoyable 🗣
I am thankful to the resourceful workshop leader, and colleagues who contributed to my professional development 👩🏫
So, I am IB trained and certified educator on MYP Sciences now 🥳

3rd IB workshop completed 🥳
This #workshop was most challenging for me because I do not have experience in Diploma Programme (#DP). But now I feel more confident in DP Biology, and suppose that I did put a lot of effort into this workshop for the International Baccalaureate (IB).
🟡 The workshop lasted from the 3rd of May, 2023 to the 31st of May 2023. During a month, we discussed the IB #learner profile and IB #Philosophy, and the Theory of Knowledge (#TOK) implemented on several topics in Biology with inductive and deductive reasoning. Possible Creativity, Activity, and Service (#CAS) projects on the subject explored, Extended Essay (#EE), also skills in the study of Biology discussed through learning engagements.
🔷 The main parts of the #DP Biology #Guide reviewed, especially #levels of #organizations and #themes. Application of #skills, Approaches to Learning (#ATL) skills and #teaching skills learned based on chosen concepts. Internal assessment (#IA), and External assessment (#EA), and their #marking on samples, types of #questions in EA, explore possible topics on IA, #linking and #guiding questions were also parts of the workshop. Designing the #course #outline was the most challenging part because we had to involve and #connect all these things in the course outline, it looks like designing a #comprehensive plan. Again I understood that there are lots of #connections in each part of the IB, it is much broader than you think, and enjoyed exploring DP #Biology 👩🏫
Thanks to Saibhavya Prabu for designing comprehensive tasks in the #workshop, providing us with regular #feedback, giving me a strong foundation for DP, and for her continuous #support 🙏
Now I can tell confidently that I completed DP #Biology (Cat. 1) workshop 🥳

4th IB #workshop (IB DP Biology Cat. 2 workshops) completed 🔷
💡 The workshop lasted from the 7th of June to the 5th of July. During 5 months I have completed 4 IB workshops (1 face-to-face, 3 online), and participating in these workshops took more than 3 months for me. After completing the International Baccalaureate (IB) DP Biology Category 1 workshop I decided to participate in a Category 2 #online workshop. It was quite a challenging, but fruitful experience for me.
🟡 In the workshop, we discussed several topics such as the IB #learner profile, #international #mindedness, concept-based teaching in DP Biology, unit planning, and practical #skills which are needed for doing #research. Marking #specimen papers and discussing real grades, Theory of Knowledge (#TOK), possible topics for Extended Essay (#EE), also Internal Assessment (#IA), and Creativity, activity, and Service (#CAS) projects in IB were one of the main parts of the workshop.
Our workshop is facilitated by Chris Hall who is recently retired as Head of Science and Head of Biology at Malvern College, a UK independent school that has been running the IB Diploma program for more than 30 years. He was also the Deputy Principal #Moderator for Internal Assessment and a senior #examiner for written papers. He is currently working as a Quality Assurance Inspector for Malvern College International as well as inspecting for ISI. He supported all participants through the workshop and I have learned a lot from his #experience, and #knowledge. I am grateful to Mr. Chris for all his #support 👩🏫

I completed the workshop on AS&A-level Biology (9700) 2025-2027 Syllabus in Cambridge International Education, the workshop was held from the 11th of October 2023 to the 19th of November 2023.
⚜️ The 5 weeks #workshop included several concepts:
#Assessment in AS and A Level Biology
Assessment objectives
#Marking of past papers
Usage of mark schemes
Designing #lesson plans based on the syllabus
Usage of command words properly
Organizing #activities for AS and A Level #Biology students
Usage of schemes of work in #planning
Analyzing #teaching approaches
🧬 Currently, I am teaching Biology to Year 12 (AS&A-level), and I have 11 enthusiastic students. This workshop, as well as my colleagues in the #school, supported me in the formation of foundational #knowledge on AS&A-level in #Cambridge Assessment International Education 📚
💡 During this time I was comparing and trying to #analyze the advantages and disadvantages of International Baccalaureate and Cambridge Education for #teachers, as well as students.
Now I can tell that I am a certified and trained educator at Cambridge International Education 🥳 I think that education is a journey, and we can not tell that I am done with this, still I am learning, but feel much more confident as an #educator on Cambridge curriculum 👩🏫
