RECOMMENDED FOR:
Heads of School, Coordinators and Senior Leaders responsible for the management of IB programmes within their school community.
Please note this workshop will be delivered virtually.
Workshop Overview:
This workshop allows leaders to better understand their role in developing a learning organization as that of a designer, steward and teacher. Leaders explore how to build a shared vision, challenge prevailing mental models, build professional mastery and team learning. They apply sense-making, systems thinking and activity theory in their IB World School context.
You will explore how:
IB leaders are responsible for designing and sustaining learning organizations where students and staff continually expand their skills, attitudes and dispositions.
IB leaders challenge prevailing mental models with new ideas and innovative methods in order to bring about change.
IB leaders apply sense-making, systems thinking and activity theory to build a shared vision and continually develop their IB programme(s)
Strategic aims, that align with the IB programme standards and practices, support development with all aspects of leading an IB education.
Practical application:
This workshop is centered around identifying a systemic problem or challenge participants are facing in their school context and applying the key ideas of sense-making, systems thinking and activity theory to work through the issue. Leaders will leave with practical strategies and protocols to further develop their programmes by writing a case study based around their problem or challenge.
