What a few people have said about our workshops...

2011

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and have learnt so much about the IB. I feel much more confident about preparing a good IB Geography course over the next year and am actually looking forward to getting started with the teaching of it now! It all feels slightly less daunting after spending the last few days with such enthusiastic people with so many great ideas.

It has been a great thinking and learning experience for the teachers during IB workshop.  I have really felt a great change.  Looking forward to next workshop.  Greatly organised

I just wanted to say thank you, the course was extremely useful and I feel so much better prepared to deliver it now. Howard (Geography workshop leader) was very knowledgeable and I can honestly say I am excited to be part of the IB process now.

“The Theory of Knowledge course was fantastic! The murky idea of knowledge issues was clarified and the course leader prepared relevant activities that could be used in class. My confidence in this subject has increased as has my knowledge of it. Thank you Ibicus”

I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you on behalf of the staff who attended Workshops in Dubai. They have all said how great it was and have come back enthused and feeling that the Workshops and the opportunity to meet other IB teachers (and to get a direct feel for just how international the IBDP is) were worth the long haul flight.

My daughter did the standard maths revision course at Wellington college the last 2 days. She said that if the teacher there had been her teacher, they would all have got 7's for their exams. She found the course excellent. Just thought you'd like to know!

"Just to let you and your team know that all our participants, both at Oakham and Wellington College, gained a great deal from the courses. Our CAS Coordinator went on to say it was the best PD he had been on. It was not only the PD part but the accommodation, food and ambiance that was a hit. I think you can be sure that we will be sending more people your way."
