LEVEL 2 IB ESS WORKSHOP SINGAPORE
 

To accommodate a diverse range of learners, the IB workshops are designed for both new and experienced teachers interested in increasing their knowledge and expertise about the IB programme.The workshops include strategies and techniques for teaching IB courses effectively in the classroom and are led by highly trained IB experts. Each workshop allows teachers to assess and build their skills in the curriculum as well as understand and compare assessment criteria.

The workshops offer teachers a chance to interact directly with and offer their input to the workshop leaders. They also allow the participants to discuss and share their own ideas, practices and strategies while working alongside other IB teachers from a broad range of backgrounds.
