The International Baccalaureate: The Complete Guide to Implementing the Ib Programmes in Your School

Introducing a new qualification is an invariably protracted and expensive step. The IB offers clear, practical advice from people who have gone through the process and have made their IB programmes successful. Written by the Director of IB at Wellington College, this book contains everything you need to know (and nothing more) about the IB programmes, from why you would consider offering them in your school through to troubleshooting potential challenges. The book includes: - An outline of the three IB programmes spanning ages 3-19 and the advantages of adopting more than one - The practicalities of successful implementation once you've decided to go ahead - Where to find the best resources - How to grow the programme - The best networks and organisations to join to share good practice National and international case studies are threaded throughout the book, and the book also looks at what the students, and universities, think about the IB Programmes. If you are considering implementing any of the IB programmes in your school, this book is your essential handbook. See more
