One Day Focus Workshops
IBDP Teachers & Administrators - 11, 12, 13 March 2010 - London, United Kingdom
We are pleased to invite Secondary teachers & administrators to the InThinking one day thematic workshops which will take place in London on Thursday 11th, Friday 12th and Saturday 13th March 2009. Each of the one day workshops - which will run from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. - is self-contained. You can sign up for one, two, or three workshops.
| The Theory of Knowledge course lies at the heart of IB’s educational philosophy and is relevant to all IBDP teachers & administrators (not just TOK teachers). The workshop will begin with a brief overview of the TOK course and then focus on explicit strategies for integrating TOK across the range of subject areas. |
| The aim of this workshop is to explore a concept of international mindedness that goes beyond the "food, festivals and flags" approach, and to look at some concrete strategies for developing a genuinely international ethos in schools. Among the topics covered will be culture and identity, how to integrate the international dimension into classroom teaching, and how international mindedness can be assessed. |
| This aim of this intensive one day workshop is to help teachers & administrators prepare their students for the extended essay. The topics covered will include: the aims & objectives of the new programme; how to organise the EE within your school; and the assessment criteria (a marking exercise will be included). The workshop leaders - who have complementary areas of expertise in the languages, humanities, and sciences - will offer specific advice on tackling EEs in groups 1, 3 & 4. |
There will be twelve concurrent one day workshops in the following subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Economics, English A, French B, Geography, History, Maths Higher, Maths Standard, Maths Studies, Physics, Spanish B. Each workshop will be run by an experienced IB teacher/examiner and will give subject specific advice on how best to prepare students for the IB exams. Among the topics covered will be the following:
Workshop leaders: Ann Abrioux, Tim Garry, Mariam Habibi, Tim Kirk, Geoff Neuss, Monika Nöth, Dennis Oberg, Gareth Rees, Elizabeth Stephan, Almudena Talavera, Ibrahim Wazir, Jamie Williams et al. |
