I am hosting a Job-a-like for schools in the region on Tuesday September 18th from 10am to 3pm.
The theme of the Job-a-like is ‘IDUs for experienced MYP teachers’. I am extending an invitation to anyone who teaches MYP to attend this workshop, although places are limited so if you are interested please get in touch.
The workshop will include a quick briefing on what an IDU is according to the IB and then time for planning, refining and sharing IDU ideas and plans will be given.
Looking forward to hearing from you..
