This workshop will cater to both guidance counsellors experienced in supporting DP students as well as those new to the practice. The overall purpose of the workshop is to explore the philosophical and administrative principles of the Diploma Programme counselling for DP implementation. The workshop will provide foundational knowledge, while also reviewing and updating counsellors on the standards and practices of the Diploma Programme to support momentum and maximize student attainment.
A goal of the workshop is to define and discuss the role of the IB counsellor and learn strategies to support the effectiveness of the counsellor working with IB students. Counsellors learn to keep up-to-date on changes in the DP and articulate the outcomes to properly advise students towards diploma attainment and post-secondary options.
