At the beginning of each calendar year, the IB publishes new subject guides along with other subject resources and organizes subject-specific seminars (SSS) to help educators understand and implement the curriculum.
The subject-specific seminars are professional development events offering comprehensive information and materials for experienced educators in those subject areas to fully familiarize themselves with new changes in the guide. These events also offer a unique opportunity for educators to engage with IB staff and/or members of the curriculum review team.
