In English
1.

Education for International mindedness (Continuum workshop) C3

This workshop will explore international education that goes beyond food, flags, films and festivals. The IB
learner profile describes the goal of “creating internationally minded people”, but what does that mean? How
can schools develop an internationally minded educational philosophy that addresses IB standards and
practices?
How can educators help students inquire, act and reflect in meaningful and relevant ways in an increasingly
interconnected world?
Participants will build understandings together and share good practice to promote intercultural
understanding, the importance of multilingualism and global engagement.

2.

Inquiry in the learner profile C3

This workshop will explore the role of the learner profile in an IB World School. The nature of the learner
profile within the context of an international curriculum model will be critically examined, focusing on the link
between the learner profile and the concept of international-mindedness. This examination will lead to the
development of concrete strategies that teachers and administrators can use to promote the learner profile.
Participants will:
- assess their own perceptions of the learner profile attributes
- examine current practices in their own schools related to the development of these attributes
- form a personal action plan to apply their lessons learned within their own school contexts
- reflect on the nature of a continuum of international education
- be challenged to articulate the role of the learner profile in supporting this continuum within an IB
World School.

3.

Approaches to Teaching Learning C3 - This workshop requires an experienced IBEN

This workshop will first briefly introduce the new element of the DP —approaches to teaching and learning—
before giving the participants an opportunity to discuss implementation of these elements in their school’s
context. This will be done by examining past and current experience with approaches to teaching and
learning-style skills, assessment, unit planning and curriculum mapping, the sharing of good practices and
developing an action plan for one's own school.
4.

Academic Honesty C3

Academic honesty in the IB comprises a set of values and behaviours informed by attributes of the learner
profile. In teaching, learning and assessment, principles of academic honesty serve to promote personal
integrity, engender respect for the integrity of others and their work, and ensure that all students have an
equal opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they acquire during their studies. This workshop
provides an opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding of academic honesty and develop skills
to better support IB DP students.
The workshop sessions are structured so that there is a balance between the more reactive approach
of understanding the different types of malpractice that exist and methods of detection, alongside
the more proactive approach that schools can take to develop an academic honesty policy that both
raises awareness of the issues and provides safeguards for students during their learning.

Paving the way to MYP success C3

Participants will deepen their understanding of what it means to be an IB World School and will investigate
the impact of MYP implementation on individual school programmes, structures and curriculum development.
The workshop will delve into how to create a robust MYP that supports educators’ ability to communicate the
IB mission and encourage the development of the learner profile attributes.
The workshop will encourage participants to value international-mindedness and responsible action, plan
and assess MYP units, support students and teachers who are working on the personal and community
project, offer innovative tools to design the master schedule, help students select courses thoughtfully
and develop support systems to broaden access to challenging courses.

2.

PYP - Concept based learning C3

In the PYP, concepts and conceptual questions drive the way we teach and learn in a transdisciplinary
context. This workshop will explore concepts in greater depth. Participants will review the theory behind
conceptual thinking, develop a better understanding of key and related concepts and analyse the programme
of inquiry and units of inquiry through different conceptual lenses. Participants will also explore practical ways
of assessing a learner’s conceptual understanding within a unit of inquiry.

PYP – Making the PYP Happen in the classroom C1

This workshop assists teachers who are currently in an IB World School offering the PYP but did not have the
opportunity to receive category 1 workshop training before commencing their responsibilities. It assumes a
familiarity with the planning process and the philosophy of the PYP. Participants will develop their personal
knowledge and understanding of the essential elements of the programme; deepen their understanding of
international-mindedness and the learner profile; prepare themselves for planning, teaching and assessing
students; and develop skills to analyse and refine the school’s programme of inquiry.
The workshop environment supports educators as lifelong learners through reading and discussing
current pedagogy and research. It supports teachers with their insights and questions on their journey to
implement the PYP.
