  • Our workshops

Category 1 

Category 1 workshops are intended as introductory workshops for those who are new to the teaching of the subject as part of the IB Diploma. It is possible that those attending category 1 workshops are experienced teachers of the subject but have not yet taught it as part of the IB Diploma.

Category 1 workshops are thus likely to be attended by teachers who are:

  • new to the IB Diploma
  • new to teaching
