Language is a powerful tool for inclusion. As an IB World School with a diverse student body, WAB is committed to championing multilingualism as a fundamental part of increasing intercultural understanding, international-mindedness and I-DEAS: Inclusion through Diversity, Equity, Anti-racism, and Social justice.   In this WAB Podcast episode, we focus on English as an Additional Language (EAL), speaking to High School EAL Department Teacher Helen Avetisyan and Grade 10 student Sarah to understand the philosophy of EAL at WAB and how it is integrated into the curriculum. We also explore the role of agency in English language acquisition and how it creates a culture of inclusion, where each student's home culture, language, and identity is valued.  Helen also unpacks the EAL Department's goal to achieve what is known as “additive bilingualism”, which ensures that English language learning doesn't happen at the expense of other languages.  Make sure to tune in to this week's episode to learn more!

Jaya shares highlights from her school's plan and how they engage all stakeholders in the experience.

Mr Peter Bird originates from a small rural village in South Cambridgeshire, UK. His humble beginnings started in Corporation housing and his father was known locally as the Professor because he was the only one they knew that had attended Technical College in Cambridge. Until the age of 16 he attended school within his village and had never traveled outside of the UK. Mr Bird left school with minimum qualification and was in a real sense a school failure. Why did a modern day successful school Superintendent fail school? Well in Mr Bird's opinion he did not fail school, the education system failed him. The memory game of traditional education kills children's creativity and passion to learn which is why he hated school. Mr Bird then started on a long road to prove his intelligence despite his school results resulting in a varied career in many fields which he will share with you. The connecting factor in all his career successes has been his sheer determination to not accept the current system or the situation he has encountered. Instead he has forged on to achieve and now pioneers to bring about change in education which he remains passionate about. During his career in educational leadership, Mr Bird has been the founding Principal in several countries including England, Qatar and currently The International Village School,Channi, India. IVS opened its doors in August 2018 and by JUne 2020 achieved IB World School statues in under two years, and during a global pandemic. Mr Bird's message is simple, education IS the gateway to personal growth and career success, BUT only if the education system fits the pupils and not forces the pupils to fit the education system. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/future-school-leaders/message

In this episode of IB Matters we talk to Asnaha Farheen in Bangladesh. She is an experienced PYP coordinator now guiding a new PYP candidate school through authorization. We had intended to talk when her visit was completed to see how it went. However, we recorded this podcast during the shut down of schools world-wide in the wake of the COVID-19 virus and as a result her journey to become an authorized IB World School has taken a turn. She is now preparing for a virtual authorization visit - something that is entirely new and only used in this unusual circumstance. Most of this episode is devoted to Asnaha’s description of her preparation for the now virtual visit. If your school is awaiting an authorization or verification visit, you may learn from her work.Here is the link to the IB Guidance Document for Virtual visits.Here is the link to the IB Matters Website

This is the fourth in the “Becoming an IB School” series.We were at Rockford High School to record another set of parent questions with Rockford parent, Maris Ehlers, and Dr. Matthew Scheidler - the IB coordinator. But we were also able to capture an interview with one of Rockford’s experienced teachers who is just beginning his own IB journey. Ben Pennings, formerly a Middle school History teacher has been tasked with moving to the High school along with the freshman class at Rockford. Together, he and his students are getting to know MYP as they practice implementation ahead of their authorization visit in about a year. I was impressed by his observations as a new-to-IB teacher. He speaks eloquently about the philosophy of IB and some of his early impressions of the assessment schemes. Rockford is also applying to become a Diploma school. Mr Pennings will be teaching TOK for the first time with the cohort he is now teaching in 9th grade. In preparation, Rockford has created a “Theory of Logic” class as a precursor so staff can practice the TOK elements. Ben shares his enthusiasm for this as well.The parent questions revolve around the student load in the DP, college credit, and some of the transition questions parents have about already popular options at Rockford such as AP and College in the Schools (referred to as CIS throughout the podcast).We have created a webpage for this podcast with all our episodes organized by programme and topic.

This is the third in an ongoing series of episodes featuring a local Minnesota school (Rockford High School) as it goes through the IB authorization process to become an IB World School. They are currently a candidate for MYP, DP, and the CP. This episode is actually a question/answer session recorded as a podcast for the local parent Facebook group. We weren't intending to make it an IB Matters episode but the conversation was so compelling and the content so universal, it is now included here.The questions that Maris asks come from their Facebook group but also from individual conversations held among parents wondering how IB was going to change their school and their children's experiences. They ask about grading, getting into colleges, the difference between IB and other college readiness options, and community service. The answers given by the IB coordinator (Dr. Scheidler) demonstrate his understanding of the multi-faceted IB Programmes he now works with and the various ways IB impacts his school community.Credit should be given to everyone in Rockford for their openness and engagement in this process. Becoming an IB World school is a challenging journey but it is definitely well worth the effort.
