CP Category 1 – Community Engagement

RECOMMENDED FOR:
Teachers supporting this CP core component from schools
that have taken the decision to apply to offer the careerrelated Programme (CP); new or recently appointed
community engagement (CE) coordinators or advisers
from IB World Schools with an existing CP offer; teachers
who are interested in supporting CE in their schools and
are new to CE.
This workshop will provide participants with an in-depth
look at the IB mission and philosophy reflected in the CP as
a programme of international education and in the context
of community engagement (CE) more specifically, and
introduce the function of CE in the CP core and the CP as a
whole. Participants will explore the building blocks of CE, the
CE learning and engagement process, and approaches to
assessment in CE, and will gain an understanding of both the
aims and the specific requirements of CE. The workshop will
focus on practical methods to encourage achievement of the
aims and learning outcomes of CE, and participants will have
the opportunity to consider a range of approaches to bring
CE to life in their diverse contexts with consideration of their
students and wider communities, as well as of their school
resources.
