How concept-based is your school today? Should we throw out knowledge-based learning in favour of big, fluffy ideals? Conceptual understanding is at the heart of IB pedagogy, yet 'concept-based learning' can often feel abstract or vague. Join us for this masterclass as we establish a clear, shared understanding of what concepts truly are, and examine common pitfalls and misconceptions in concept-driven classrooms. We will discuss the vital relationship between rich content, core knowledge, and conceptual thinking, ensuring rigor is never sacrificed for abstraction.
