PYP/MYP/DP rockstar teachers wanted
The IB Asia Pacific region has created a new IB Educator’s Network portal where you can indicate your interest in becoming a workshop leader and school service providers (for schools seeking authorisation or re-authorisation). The IB will cover expenses of your training and, if selected, add you to a pool of educators for future workshops, consultations and authorisarion/re-authorisation visits. There are also reading roles that do not require travel. I find it great professional development and networking, so thought I’d spread the word. If you want to know more, feel free to stop by for a chat or email (D204 / luizmello@nanjing-school.com)
