Enhance student success, nurture lifelong learners

IB educator certificate holders are trusted educational leaders who inspire today’s learners. They have completed rigorous programs of study at reputable, IB-recognized institutions and will come to your school ready to:

• help learners make sense of the world through concept-based teaching

• inspire inquiry

• transfer knowledge to real life

• facilitate student resilience, confidence and critical thinking.

Take your school further

When you hire IB certificate holders, the benefits extend beyond the classroom. IB-certified educators:

• are prepared to implement one or more IB programmes from the moment they join your school

• bring international perspectives and an inquiry-based educational approach

• give you a competitive advantage by keeping valuable professional development funds in your budget (certificate holders are not required to attend a category 1 workshop)

• inspire higher-order thinking, reflection and questioning

• collaborate with colleagues within the school and at IB events to continually improve student learning

• bring innovative approaches to leadership that transcend boundaries.

“From interdisciplinary teaching, assessment,

curriculum and instruction to conceptual inquiry

and concept-based teaching tasks, the course has

developed my knowledge and experience of what it

means to foster internationally-minded education.”

IB certificates in teaching and learning

THE INTERNATIONAL SYMBOL OF EXCELLENCE IB-certified educators bring a foundation in research to any role in your school. They gain certification in two areas:

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.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this fruitful learning

experience and have already started implementing

much of it in my teaching learning process as well.

This program has given me a deeper insight into the IB

principles and philosophy and has helped me under-

stand the significance of international mindedness,

intercultural understanding, inquiry, collaborative

work, differentiation and reflective practice.”
