Tell the world about your IB World School

Diary

IB World’s new diary feature is an informal, relaxed insight into what life is like for one particular individual—whether teacher or student in one part of the IB world. It can cover any IB-related topic the writer chooses, from describing a typical week in a teacher’s life to rehearsing a piece of music for the creative segment of CAS.

Tell us about your experiences. We’re sure they will resonate with many in the IB community, no matter where they are in the world.

Life swap

Have you recently begun teaching at an IB World School? Maybe your school is one of the many around the world that has recently adopted one or more of the IB programmes. So tell IB World what it's like to be a teacher in transition. What are the major differences? Have you been able to apply methods and techniques you have always dreamed of using? What sort of questions do your students ask—and in how many languages? And how’s the social life?

Tell the world

If you’re an IB teacher, you’ll be justifiably proud of your teaching techniques. Whatever your subject, and whether you teach the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) or Diploma Programme, if you have a favourite, tried and tested method of making a connection with your students, tell your IB colleagues around the world all about it. After all, your brainwave just might be the answer to someone else’s question. In the May 2006 issue of IB World, we want to hear your secrets for successfully supervising Extended Essays.

Teacher’s notes

Whether you teach the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) or Diploma Programme, the IB World Resources section would like to hear about the teaching materials that fire your students’ imagination and enthuse them about the subject in question. Perhaps it’s a book, a film or video that has given students food for thought or debate, an indispensable website, maybe simply an object that has challenged their ideas about another culture, or software that has made learning fun.

Share your recommendations with your IB colleagues around the globe.
