Webinar: Creating Optimal Learning Environments in the IB DP

Tips and strategies from a passionate IB DP Coordinator

A session exploring the IB’s Approaches to Learning, why they are important, and how to make the best possible use of them in your school’s diploma programme.

You’ll walk away with both insights and pro tips to enable you to create inspiring lessons that really work for your students.

Key Takeaways

  • Physical space lends itself to collaborative, thinking and research skills – be intentional about space set up
  • Consider the conditions, the who, the how and the why
  • Organise your digital learning spaces with the learner in mind
  • Boundaries, respect and empathy create more respect and empathy
  • Inquiry-Based Learning is a grey scale, not black and white
  • Differentiate without burning out by reframing how to explore concepts not just cover content
  • Assessment drives efficiency – put it up front
  • Meaningful context means greater connection to the subject
