Categories
Category 1
Category 1 workshops are intended as introductory workshops for those who are new to teaching the subject as part of the IB Diploma. It is possible that those attending category 1 workshops are experienced teachers of the subject, but have not yet taught it as part of the IB Diploma.
Category 1 workshops are likely to be attended by teachers who are:
- new to the IB Diploma
- new to teaching
Category 2
Category 2 workshops are intended to provide professional development opportunities for those who have had significant experience of teaching the subject as part of the IB Diploma. It is possible that those attending category 2 workshops are experienced teachers but are working in an IB world school teaching another subject. Such teachers will need to have knowledge of the IBDP programme, its structure and philosophy.
Category 2 workshops are likely to be attended by teachers who are:
- working or have worked in an IB World school
- experienced in teaching their subject as part of the Diploma
- experienced in teaching a different subject as part of the Diploma
- familiar with the current subject guide
- willing and able to contribute ideas and opinions to the workshop
Category 3
Category 3 workshops are intended for experienced teachers of the IB Diploma. Previous attendance at a category 1 or 2 workshop is not necessarily a requirement, although it is likely that most participants will have attended IB workshops before and will be experienced IBDP practitioners.
There are no events in the selected category.
If you are in any doubt about which category of workshop you are best suited to please contact Dr Karen Patricia Heath, Director, IB Institute, on ib.workshop@stclares.ac.uk
