Some of the most highly attended sessions were those introducing the IB Programmes to new teachers and other staff members just hired into IB schools. With that in mind we developed brief introductions in the form of self-guided tours of the basic elements of the IB and all four Programmes.If you are a coordinator looking for a resource where your new teachers can learn the basics, send them to "Intro to the IB Programmes". They will be exposed to the common elements of all IB Programmes and then be directed to the specific Programme(s) in your school. They are encouraged to complete a Reflection Journal along the way and to reach out to the coordinator for more resources.IB is making it easier to schedule online workshops that are specific to your school's needsFrom the IBO.org website:"Wherever you are in the world, you can participate in an online workshop for a high-quality learning experience and the same teaching concepts that you would explore in a face-to-face workshop. Participation in our cost-effective online workshops will also contribute to your school’s authorization or evaluation process to become an IB World School."There are more than 400 online workshops to choose from and these are offered throughout the year. If you are not available when your choice of online workshop is scheduled, you can complete the request form linked on the website above. Schools have the option to request workshops to be delivered as part of a global cohort or exclusively to their own school. Online workshops delivered exclusively to one school have more real time interaction and therefore, resemble a virtual in-school experience.
