MYP Category 2: Leading the Learning

RECOMMENDED FOR:
Coordinators, members of the pedagogical leadership
team, librarians, specialists, deans of students, counsellors,
year level leaders/heads of department, section/deputy/
assistant/vice heads, inclusion specialists and career/
guidance specialists. *Heads of school may benefit from
attending this workshop with/without their pedagogical
leadership team.
This workshop will support learning leaders to enhance the
identity of being an IB World School through a reflection on the
purpose, culture and environment of their learning organization
and their agency for growing leadership capacity within the
school. Building on this understanding, leaders will consider the
ways in which they will place learning at the center of their IB
programme, through the thoughtful development of purpose,
culture and environment, in alignment with the IB’s standards and
practices. Working with each other and the workshop leaders,
participants will:
• develop their leadership capabilities as a pedagogical leader
within a learning organization.
• become familiar with the IB’s leadership capabilities as lenses
or tools to develop their personal mastery in an IB global
context.
• prepare to develop collaborative or shared leadership capacity
within their school.
• plan the journey through school self-study toward evaluation
and beyond.
During the workshop, leaders will reflect and build on their
school’s IB development plan to meet the IB’s requirements for
evaluation and a vision for ongoing implementation.
