10 slides series - introduction to IB big ideas
Are you introducing the IB to new stakeholders for the first time? Or, do you want a quick refresher to use in staff meetings?
This series of slide sets is intended to be used as a quick introduction to the big ideas of the IB. They can be used as a way of re-engaging all stakeholders with the bi ideas of the IB in advance of IB Authorization or as part of the 5 year self-study (Evaluation)
Each set can be used as a stand-alone presentation. However, I have also included links on each page to further workshop materials which you may wish to use to follow up on these quick introductions.
