What If Your English Classroom Could Be More IB?

Join us for a practical and inspiring webinar that opens the door to the IB approach to teaching and learning. Sunday 18 October 2026 via ZOOM Hours: 11:00-13:00

Build an IB Culture That Transforms Learning

From 11:00 to 12:00, Dr Tassos Anastasiades will explore how teachers and schools can translate IB principles into everyday classroom practice. The presentation will focus on ways to build a learning culture that encourages curiosity, learner agency and purposeful learning, while examining how IB-inspired approaches can be relevant to both IB and non-IB educational settings. The webinar is particularly relevant to teachers considering a move into IB education, educators already working within IB programmes, teachers supporting IB students privately, and ELT professionals looking for practical ways to make their teaching more learner-centred and inquiry-driven.  

Teaching IB Style: Skill-Based, College-Level Learning for the IB and Beyond

From 12:00 to 13:00, Joe Russo will examine practical ways of developing student agency, critical thinking and independence through vocabulary, reading, drama and literature. The session will look at how teachers can help learners move beyond memorising correct answers and towards interpreting texts, making connections and developing their own ideas. Practical classroom examples will address skill-based vocabulary development, the transition from knowing language to actively using it, reading for meaning, and using drama and literature to create richer classroom interaction.
