• plan their school’s IB journey through authorization and beyond, including the
identification of a potential leading learners team.
During the workshop, leaders will begin to develop their school’s IB action plan to meet
the IB’s requirements for authorization and a vision for ongoing implementation.

education.
• Conceptual understanding is developed through the
pedagogical approaches to teaching to support
transdisciplinary learning within, across and beyond subjects.

process frame opportunities that enable designing
and teaching for conceptual understanding that connects
meaningfully to the learner and the learning community.
• Concepts play a critical role in organizing, designing and
planning curriculum and learning.
• Together, this creates opportunities for learners to make
connections, transfer and apply skills, knowledge, and
understandings to new and different contexts in creative,
generative, agentic and dynamic ways.
This workshop provides tools and strategies that enhance
conceptual understanding leading to depth and rigour in thinking
within, between and across subjects both inside and outside the
programme of inquiry
