Workshop Summary:
Please note this workshop covers the 2020 Programme Standards & Practices (PSP), it will not address the 2014 PSP.
In this workshop, heads of school are challenged to think about the process of leadership differently, to base their decision-making and actioning on a foundation of deeper understanding of the complex nature of their own particular context as well as being immersed into the IB ecosystem.
Building on this understanding, leaders -- together with the IB -- will consider the ways in which their school community (all stakeholders) will place learning at the centre of their IB programme, through the thoughtful development of purpose, culture and environment, in alignment with the IB’s mission and philosophy.
Working with each other and the workshop leaders, you will:
embrace your role as a leader of a learning organisation in an IB global context
become familiar with the IB’s philosophy and requirements, including the specifications relevant to the programme(s) for which the school is seeking authorization
prepare to inform and engage your school community
plan your school’s IB journey through authorisation and beyond, including the identification of a potential leading learners team.
During the workshop, leaders will begin to develop their school’s IB action plan to meet the IB’s requirements for authorisation and a vision for ongoing implementation.
