- John Dewey (1859 - 1952), American philosopher and educational reformer
"Every teacher needs to improve, not because they are not good enough, but because they can be even better."
- Professor Dylan Wiliam (b. 1955), internationally renowned educationalist
"If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.”
- Zig Ziglar (1926 - 2012), American author and motivational speaker
InThinking has more than 20 years of experience in providing top quality IB-approved workshops. The IB-approved workshops (both face to face and virtual) have a duration of 2 ½ days. The InThinking team consists of more than 120 workshop leaders, consultants, and authors, all of whom are highly qualified experts in their respective fields.
InThinking also offers a range of non-IB certified virtual seminars all of which are branded as "Think-Ins". As the name suggests, they are designed to promote thoughtful discussions on, and deeper understanding of, topics that complement official IB workshops. The Think-Ins are led by expert practitioners, and last for 3, 4, or 6 hours over 1 or 2 days.
Details of Think-Ins and workshops for the 2024-2025 academic year will added and updated on this site page throughout the year, including event details and registration links.
Spaces on these workshops are limited, so please book early to secure your place. For each workshop, training materials and supporting resources are shared with participants.
I hope to see you at one of these training courses in the near future!
With best wishes
