IB Matters
IB Matters is a podcast (established in April 2019) which brings listeners content related to International Baccalaureate (IB) education. It is for students, parents, and teachers interested in learning more about IB and for those working in IB schools wanting access to pedagogical support for their teaching.
Please listen, subscribe, and post a review to help us spread the word about the IB. Follow us on twitter @MattersIB and be sure to let us know what you would like to hear more about in future episodes.
The podcast is hosted in Minnesota by the MN Association of IB World Schools (MNIB) but is intended for a global audience.
IB Matters
The IB Educator Network (IBEN)
In this episode, we talk to Kurt Carlson, a trainer in the IB Educator Network - known as IBEN.
We will hear how the IB uses a cadre of current teachers (who take part in continuous professional development) as trainers for the entire network of IB teachers in schools across the globe. It is their work as IB Educators that ensures the IB principles and practices are in place in every IB school. IBEN members play different roles in the organization: subject area trainers, site visitors, school consultants, among others.
Kurt lays out the benefits of becoming an IBEN member both for the teacher and their home school communities. Listen to see how you might become a part of this important work helping train the next generation of IB teachers and leaders.
More information about the IB Educator Network (the link Kurt mentioned in the podcast) is available here. You can also learn more about the IB Organization here.
