The IB World Schools (IBWS) Department – your partner in continuous improvement

What support can IBWS provide my school?

  • Individual School Support & School System Relationship Management:
  • Knowledge management:
    • Evaluation Programme Standards and Practices (PSP) support and preparation activities, including cross-agency liaison
    • Capturing meaningful school interactions, contributing to insights reports
    • Internal and external advocacy for schools and school systems
  • School Community Engagement initiatives:
    • Presentations and/or engagement on sharing effective practice, assessment readiness to increase effectiveness and help strengthen community linkages
    • Network, conference, IB Association presentations and engagement

How do I find out who my IBWS Manager is?

A Senior IBWS Manager is assigned to support each authorized IB World School. IBWS managers are highly qualified to provide dynamic relationship management, expert guidance, advocacy, and service support. They support schools and school systems post-authorization in achieving their optimum teaching, learning, and assessment objectives.

The Head of School or the IB programme coordinator can find out who is the Senior IBWS Manager by logging into MyIB and navigating to MySchool. On the new page, locate Your IB Contact on the left-hand side menu to locate the contact information for your Senior IBWS Manager.

The IBWS department serves as a trusted partner, deeply committed to ensuring that each school thrives and that all students benefit from a transformational IB education.
