LEADING AN IB EDUCATION

This workshop allows leaders to explore leading an IB education that is both student-centered, and develops the attitudes and skills leaders need for both academic and personal success. IB leaders inquire into developing effective approaches to teaching and learning, thereby increasing intercultural understanding through a curriculum that is broad, balanced, conceptual and connected.

Participants will explore how:

• the IB mission empowers leaders to create a better and more peaceful world, through the IB learner profile and by promoting international mindedness
• effective approaches to teaching and learning help students to develop the attitudes and skills they need for both academic and personal success
• IB leaders draw upon a range of IB leadership intelligences to further develop their programmes
• global issues connect learning through real world application that transcend the academic disciplines.

Practical application: Participants apply the IB's key messages about leading an IB education that run throughout this workshop, to discuss possible strategies that will explain and/or promote What is an IB education? to their learning community groups.
