Workshop Overview:
In this workshop, heads of school are challenged to think about the process of leadership differently, to base their decision-making and actioning on a foundation of deeper understanding of the complex nature of their own particular context as well as being immersed into the IB ecosystem. Building on this understanding, leaders -- together with the IB -- will consider the ways in which their school community (all stakeholders) will place learning at the centre of their IB programme, through the thoughtful development of purpose, culture and environment, in alignment with the IB’s mission and philosophy.
This workshop will enable you to:
embrace your role as a leader of a learning organization in an IB global context.
become familiar with the IB’s philosophy and requirements, including the specifications relevant to the programme(s) for which the school is seeking authorization.
prepare to inform and engage your school community.
plan your school’s IB journey through authorization and beyond, including the identification of a potential leading learners team.
begin to develop your school’s IB action plan to meet the IB’s requirements for authorization and a vision for ongoing implementation.
