New workshops
Sunday 17 November 2024
Over the past year, I’ve observed a growing focus in schools on addressing critical questions that resonate deeply with educators, students, and school communities. These questions reflect the challenges and opportunities of education, and they form the foundation of a collaborative project I’ve been privileged to work on with four other IB educators. Together, we’ve developed a new series of workshops for the International Baccalaureate (IB), now available in the 2024-2025 IB Professional Development (PD) catalogue. These workshops will begin rolling out in January 2025, aiming to support schools in addressing these vital topics.I am very grateful to John Rolfe, an IB educator whom I have been upskilling in these workshops, for the excellent summary and visual representation of each of these workshops:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping how we think about teaching and learning. While AI offers exciting possibilities, it also raises questions about ethics, equity, and the role of human connection in education.

Equity and inclusion are cornerstones of a fair and empowering education system. As schools embrace diversity, the challenge lies in ensuring that all students feel seen, valued, and supported.
