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 educators either from schools who have decided to apply for International Baccalaureate authorization or who are new to the IB. Experienced IB educators in applicant schools may attend these workshops to help their school with the application process.
Category 2 is for educators 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 workshops provide 15 hours of International Baccalaureate training for both new and experienced educators with a focus on the Diploma Programme.
Workshops are intended for teachers and educational leaders of all levels of experience who are interested in developing or refining their knowledge of IB subjects. The workshops explore IB subject curricula, teaching methods, the process of assessment, and the examination format. As IB curricula are revised on a consistent basis, both new and experienced educators benefit from attending these workshops. If you are unsure as to whether a workshop is the right one, please contact us at +1 505-454-4263 and we will be happy to assist.

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.”
