International Baccalaureate Professional Development—Develop an Edge in International Education

New professional development from the International Baccalaureate (IB) lets you explore international education and the IB pedagogy during any of six three-week online workshops. This special series of workshops are for teachers working in any school, in any context. Their focus is on teaching and learning from an international perspective for teachers who wish to pursue a career in international education. The workshops also provide an excellent jumping-off point for teaching in an IB environment. In 2016, six online workshop sessions are available, starting March 23, May 11, August 17 and October 5. Registration can be completed online. Registration deadlines are three weeks before each workshop’s start date.

IB workshop topics include:

• Developing independent and collaborative learners
• Holistic teaching and learning
• Planning, teaching and assessing
• Promoting active student learning
• Teaching and learning with meaningful content
• Teaching for intercultural understanding
