I took part in another IB webinar last week. There were 1600 registered participants for this webinar - WOW I thought, it's great that so many educators are taking part with a view to strengthening IB programme implementation. Our focus this week was on Standards C3 - teaching and learning. One thing we talked about was that we are moving to alignment within and between the programmes. Also we are not just focusing on Approaches to Learning (ATLs) but also Approaches to Teaching:
At this point we were challenges to look at our own curriculum and to see what can be improved upon with the Approaches to Teaching.
Another area touched upon was how far policies drive the practices in our schools. Our policies represent our own schools' contexts and beliefs and as such they should be "living" documents and not just sit on a shelf. Also the Action Plans that we make should not just be addressed at times of evaluation - they need to be looked at continually to strengthen the programme.
