The course
It is here! The Subject Guide for the new course was sent to schools last week and you should now be in possession of a copy. If not, please ask your IB Coordinator or download it from My IB, where you can also get hold of the new reading list and other relevant resources. As the course presents a range of quite significant changes, it is going to take a little while for us to present you with materials to help you with planning and delivering it, but we are working hard! Updates will appear here as soon as we can make them.
Our instincts are to make clear first of all the nature of the new course and the ways in which it differs from what we are used to, as well as provide initial guidance about structure and text choice. More details will follow from this point on.
Please see the adjoining pages.
