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 session 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.
