It is so cool that you are blogging. Students and colleagues are going to be thrilled.
What is IB?
You have done a very nice job setting up your blog.
What is done differently in the IB program in the elementary years than your school did before?
Thank you, Fred! Many things are different at my school since we have become an IB school. We focus on teaching using inquiry and creating global citizens (the bigger focus). Our curriculum has also been restructured to include units of inquiry. Each unit focuses on a different theme and utilizes transdisciplinary skills. IB helps our school focus on a common goal for our students and encourages us to teach using best practices. Is your school becoming an IB school? How do you feel about it?
