RECOMMENDED FOR:
Counsellors and career guidance officers.
The overall purpose of the workshop is to explore the
philosophical and administrative principles of the Diploma
Programme counselling for DP implementation. The focus
will be on understanding IB philosophy, IB terms and
acronyms, core components and the value of IB for student
educational preparation and post-secondary success. The
goal of the workshop will be to provide counselors with
the knowledge and foundation to understand the facets
and evolution of the DP, which DP counselors will utilize to
assimilate into their role. The outcomes of the workshop will
be: to fully support students, communicate the programme
to relevant stakeholders and identify strategies to support the
implementation and/or evolution of the DP within a range
of school systems and contexts. As a category 1 workshop,
the emphasis is on effectively implementing the Diploma
Programme, and not on the details of university admissions in
varying contexts.
