Letter from Sandra Morton, IBSCA Chair, to The Times Newspaper, 3^rd February, 2012

To The Editor,

The article concerning the International Baccalaureate in The Times last Saturday needs clarification. Whilst it is clearly the decision of an individual institution to decide on the curriculum that it feels is most appropriate for its students, we should remind ourselves of the reasons why the IB Diploma is being offered in our schools and colleges.

Supporting the Leaders in IB World Schools

Dear Head,
As part of its commitment to supporting the ongoing development of school leaders, the International Baccalaureate is introducing a number of new workshops aimed at providing high quality programmes to IB World School leaders in the Africa, Europe, Middle East  region.
The workshops are intended to develop the leadership capacities in a school and are therefore relevant for Heads, Deputy Heads or Heads of Department but will also be invaluable for you to prepare the future leaders in your school.
The Leadership Programmes are offered by Urban Leadership Centre (http://www.urbanleadershipcentre.com) in co-operation with the International Baccalaureate.
Three new programmes will be offered this year:
1. Development Centre
2. 360 Survey
3. 360 Team Survey
I hope that you find this new offering of interest for your school and I would appreciate any feedback you wish to give to me.
Best wishes
Adrian Kearney
Regional Director, Africa, Europe, Middle East
