It is more important than ever to stay abreast of how each IB program area is changing to meet the needs of a complicated educational landscape and the learning needs of our students. To help educators stay current, the IB has added topics beyond the classroom for all grade levels, and subject areas that address the whole student and community experience.
Past participants consistently point to the outstanding workshop leaders UWC-USA attracts each summer and the benefit of camaraderie and informal networking among other educators. We are pleased to offer online workshops accessible from most anywhere in the world via the Zoom platform.

Category 1 is for those teachers either from schools who have decided to apply for International Baccalaureate authorization or who are new to the IB. Experienced IB teachers in applicant schools may attend these workshops to help their school with the application process.
Category 2 is for teachers who have completed Category 1 training and/or whose schools have an authorized IB program.
Category 3 workshops are an opportunity to explore a subject area more deeply or address school-wide, continuum themes.
The IB Teacher Education Summer Workshop at UWC-USA is an immersive professional development experience designed for educators seeking to deepen their understanding of the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum.

Participants engage in hands-on learning, discussions with experienced IB educators, and practical strategies to enhance their classrooms. Whether new to IB or looking to refine your skills, this program empowers teachers to inspire the next generation of global thinkers.

This training was absolutely excellent. After having taught DP for one year, it both confirmed that I am doing most things according to the guide, but also helped me to correct some things. I cannot think of a more beneficial training to prepare to teach DP.”
