The free webinar with Ibicus ran with some brilliant questions and engagement from participants. We covered:
Using the Programme Standards & Practices (PSPs) to curate your job description and the leadership responsibilities - including a template here.
The '3 Ps' of your role - with the intertwining of Pedagogical, Pastoral and Procedural.
Key tasks of the coordinator throughout the year
Professional Development of your teachers - the rules and other advice
Relevant IB workshops to your role
Guiding subject/grade level leads through curriculum improvement and documentation
Preparing for Programme Evaluation - including using the self study questionnaire to frame conversations
Your 'dual ambassador' role
Transitioning students and parents in and out of your programme
Registering students
Uploading coursework
Preparing for results (deep dive in a previous webinar)
Creating internal assessment calendars
Key resources for next steps
We also discussed how I can help schools and coordinators in areas such as AI use in learning and assessment, running a programme development plan, and the nuts and bolts of coordination that is often left out of the official workshops. Please do get in touch with me if you would like to discuss bringing me on site or in virtually to your school.
The slides from the webinar are here for free download!
