January 2022 updates and notices
Happy New Year!
Surely this just has to be a better year for everyone?
Most of the updates during the past month have been in preparation for the new syllabus (for first teaching in July/Aug 2022). I have initially released the following pages which are now live on the website:
Until the official IB syllabus is released (planned for some time in February 2022), further content being added cannot go live just yet. But subscribers will have everything they need in time for first teaching in the new academic year. For more information about the new syllabus, including details of resources and planned workshops, please take a look here.
I have collated Vivien Jack's excellent series of Top Tips for the SL and HL IA into a single document for ease of access. I am extremely grateful for Vivien's dedication to support others. The content of these two articles exceeds 5,300 words alone. Your students can also access this by using the link here:
Also, new ATL activities have added to Unit 1.6 MNCs here.
For those looking for ideas for internal or mock examinations, an additional Paper 2 question (London Zoo) has been added here.
Please allow me this opportunity to say a huge "Thank You" for your support over the past year. The InThinking Business Management community continues to grow, with over 1,000 members of the Facebook support group for IB BM teachers. Subscribers numbers also look healthy with 1,171 registered users and 8,729 students using the website across 100 countries. The "top 10" countries, based on school subscriptions during 2021 are shown below for reference. In any case, your support is highly appreciated.
May 2022 bring you much joy, success, and good health.
With best wishes
Paul
