THE INTERNATIONAL SYMBOL OF EXCELLENCE

in your school. They gain certification in two areas:

with the principles and practices associated with the Primary
Years, Middle Years and Diploma and Career-related Programmes.
These teachers are reflective practitioners and researchers.
The IB advanced certificate in teaching and learning
research equips teachers for rigorous, systematic investigative
work. These teachers advance schools’ curriculum development,
pedagogy and assessment.

authorization, implementation and beyond.
