Fully Online Global Teacher Studies and Preparation: IB Primary and Middle Years Programs
The CSUSM School of Education, in collaboration with Extended Learning, is proud to offer the Fully Online Global
Teacher Studies and Preparation: International Baccalaureate Primary and Middle Years Programme.
In response to the overarching need to bring San Diego students an international perspective and deeper
understanding of people and their cultures to the classroom, CSUSM now offers courses of study recognized by
the International Baccalaureate. These courses develop teachers’ understanding of the principles and practices
associated with the IB Primary Years Programme and Middle Years Programme.
Candidates who successfully complete one of these courses of study are eligible to apply and earn the IB certificate
in teaching and learning. The program prepares San Diego area teachers (K-10) to serve in schools that implement
the IB curriculum.
Unique attributes of course
We believe that teachers studying the IB philosophy and framework need time to bring these strategies and lesson
ideas into the classroom. For that reason, the CSUSM IB Teacher Certificate is designed to combine theory with
practice as each class has two units of field study to complete in the candidate’s school or a cooperating school in
their local geographical area.
Our program faculty are IB K-12 teachers and IB program coordinators. With their knowledge and the convenience
of the online program, the CSUSM program can meet the needs of all aspiring IB teachers.
