Upcoming training course for the new syllabus

Thursday 17 March 2022

InThinking upskilling courses (new syllabus, first teaching July/Aug 2022)

Please see below for details of the upskilling training events organized by InThinking for the new IB DP Business Management syllabus. In anticipation of the popularity of these 'Focus on' crash courses for the new syllabus, there will be four events (all covering the same content and ensuring you are fully prepared to deliver the new course). The fourth event may be more suitable for colleagues in the IB Americas region due to the timing of the event, although everyone is invited to all events.

There is also an additional workshop scheduled to support teachers to get to know more about the new Business Management Toolkit (BMT), with ready-made resources for all 15 tools in the BMT. Participants will be able to take away a starter resource pack containing ready-to-use resources for all tools in the new Toolkit. Details of the workshop are at the bottom of the page.

Please note that these are not the same as the Category 3 Subject Specific Seminars being arranged by the IB, although content coverage will be the same (but in less depth due to time constraints).

Please click on the relevant tab below for details of the workshop.

I hope to see you at one of these events if you can make it!

Best wishes
