#weareIB: The IB community says thank you to inspiring educators

Last updated:

Our 50th anniversary was a chance to thank the amazing people who bring the IB curriculum to students every day.

cardAs part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, we asked the IB community to complete this sentence: "The IB educator I'd like to thank is ..." We received responses from all over the world, and heard amazing stories about the inspiration that IB educators bring to the lives of students every day.

We spoke to participants at our IB Global Conferences in Singapore who told us about the IB educator who had inspired them. We also received hundreds of messages across our social media channels thanking educators for the incredible impact they have on the lives of those they teach.

Arpita Saxena wrote on Twitter: “The IB educator I’d like to thank is @singhrima for guiding me in my professional career, for showing me how to transform my weakness to strengths. I appreciate her leadership skills and value everything I have learned from her.”

The campaign was a very special moment in our 50th year, and allowed us to really see the transgenerational impact of education and learning.
