In this Episode we talk to Max Athorn, Diploma Programme coordinator at Thomas Edison High School in Minneapolis. Max explains the nuts and bolts of how the IB Diploma Programme works including the six subject areas and the core of the DP: Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Creativity Activity, Service (CAS), and the Extended Essay (EE).Max also talks about how the role of Diploma Programme coordinator is a multi-faceted, multi-layered role. DP coordinators are at the center of many aspects of the culture of their school. In this capacity, the DP coordinator must navigate a course ensuring all students are welcome and encouraged to take on academic and personal challenges.More information about the IB Diploma Programme can be found on the IB website.
In this episode we tackle the newest IB Programme, the Career-related Programme known as the CP. Chris Baker Raivo from Champlin Park High School describes the CP, detailing the overall framework and focusing on the core aspects of the programme.He also talks about how the CP is different from the more established IB Diploma Programme and how it serves students in a different but complementary way. You’ll hear that the CP is a better fit for some students looking to better understand their post-high school options. The CP can also be a better fit for smaller high schools that might have difficulty offering the entire slate of IB Diploma Programme courses. The CP takes advantage of the individual strengths of each community utilizing the flexibility of the programme to fit the needs of their students.More information about the CP is available on the IBO.org website.
In this episode Kirsten McPherson talks about the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). Kirsten is the PYP coordinator at Matoska International School, a public school in the White Bear Lake school district near St. Paul, MN. Kirsten explains how the learning for PYP students is conceptual and contextual with examples of how students and teachers approach teaching and learning in her PYP school. We hear how local standards are brought to life when teachers break down the pre-written curriculum and help young students see the connections between traditional subjects in a trans-disciplinary way.More information about the PYP can be found on the IB website or on our MNIB website.
Nine students from Champlin Park High School in Champlin, Minnesota describe how the Diploma Programme helped them to be prepared for University.

Angela Wilcox, the MYP coordinator at Hopkins North Junior High (and MNIB board member) explains for parents and others what makes the IB Middle Years Programme such a good fit for adolescents in this important age group. The MYP is the bridge between the PYP and more well-known Diploma Programme. Angela helps us understand how this bridge is built using concept-based teaching and learning. Students in the MYP make their own connections between subjects because they see how learning in each area is connected by the same key concepts. More information about the MYP is available at: https://www.ibo.org/programmes/middle-years-programme/
