Browse through these professional development (PD) courses to understand the Programme standards and practices (PSP), and how to implement it at your school.

The Programme standards and practices (PSP)  provides a set of criteria through which prospective schools, authorized IB World Schools (IBWS) and the IB can evaluate success, providing critical information for the planning, implementation, development and evaluation of all IB programmes. Within the PSP you can also learn how to become an IBWS, how to attain and maintain authorization, and understand the legal stipulations for implementing any of the IB programmes at your school. 

Below are some short, interactive PD courses that will help you gain fresh insight into the PSP, and how it is used to implement, grow and develop our IB programmes across all IBWS.
