Level 1: Application & authorization workshop is a three-day workshop that provides training and assistance for schools that have decided to apply for IB authorization.  For the Diploma Programme, Level 1 training assists participants in completing Appendix 3 (program course outlines) of the school application process.  Level 1 workshops are open only to teachers currently teaching in IB schools or in applicant schools.


Level 2: 'Experienced IB teachers' workshop is a three-day workshop for teachers who have completed Level 1 training and/or who teach in schools that have begun to implement an IB programme.  For schools offering the DP, the Level 2 workshop is for authorized schools and does not cover the application process.  Level 2 workshops are open only to teachers currently teaching in IB schools.

 

Level 3: Topical Seminar is a three-day seminar covering a topic or several topics of interest.  The relevancy of teaching experience and/or knowledge of the IB will vary from seminar to seminar and programme to programme, depending on the topic on offer.

Comparative topics in History of the Americas

This workshop is for experienced IB teachers who want to improve, develop and broaden their historical knowledge, understanding and practice of the History of the Americas. This workshop will offer experienced History of the Americas teachers the opportunity to explore comparative History of the Americas topics (Canada, USA and Latin America) . Workshop topics include some “popular” teacher picks and are rich in resources and historical debate. Each topic will be examined for a half day and include video, discussion, current historiography and readings. Pre-workshop readings will be circulated to registered participants two weeks prior to the workshop.

 

Internal Assessment in Psychology

This workshop is for experienced IB Diploma Programme instructors. The workshop has two goals:

  • to increase our understanding of experimental design. (Each participant constructs a simple experiment and learns to make justified decisions at each point in the process.)
  • to transfer knowledge about experiments to the specific tasks required for both the HL and SL Internal Assessment projects. (Participants will learn what is required for each section of the HL and SL IA projects.)

The workshop includes practice marking of sample SL and HL papers. Participants will practice marking with both the current syllabus rubrics and the rubrics for the new syllabus, which has its first exams in 2011.
