Preparing for IB Teaching:
A Foundation Programme
Everything you need for a confident start to your IB Teaching Journey
Who is this programme for?
Who Should Enrol
This course is designed for educators who want to start their IB journey with confidence and clarity, especially those who:
Are new to the IB and want to understand what makes IB education unique.
Have just accepted a role in an IB programme (PYP, MYP, or DP) and want to feel prepared from day one.
Are preparing for an interview in an IB school and want an insight into what an IB education is to impress the panel.
Are transitioning from a national curriculum and want to translate their experience into the IB context.
Feel unsure about IB terminology and frameworks and would value a clear, structured introduction.
Want to understand how the IB philosophy connects to classroom practice.
Want to make a strong first impression in their new IB school by understanding key principles from the start.
Who Should Not Enrol
While this course is designed to support a wide range of educators, it may not be the right fit if you:
Already have several years of IB teaching experience and are looking for advanced pedagogical training.
Expect in-depth subject-specific guidance; this course focuses on core IB principles that apply across disciplines.
Are looking for official IB certification or accreditation; this is an independent professional development course.
Do not currently work in, or plan to work in, an IB school, and are not seeking to understand the IB system.
Are not ready to engage in reflective practice or consider how IB principles can influence teaching.
Do not see the value in connecting teaching to a broader international and learner-centred philosophy.
Which programme option is best for me?
All three options give you the same core content: unlimited access, 30+ video lessons, downloadable resources, self-assessment quizzes, and practical and reflection tasks.
What differs is how much support, structure, and personal contact you get on top of that.
Have a look at the comparative chart below and choose the option that fits your personal needs and how you work best.

Choose your programme
The Self-paced course (£300) is designed for teachers who already work well independently and do not need a deadline to stay on track. It is the right choice if your timetable is unpredictable, you have done some IB reading already and just want structured content to fill the gaps, or you would rather work through things at your own pace than commit to a fixed live session. You can join this programme any time.
The 6-week programme (£475) is designed for teachers who want a group and a schedule to keep them accountable. It is the right choice if you learn better by asking questions live rather than emailing them, you want personalised feedback on your actual work, or you would rather learn by sharing with others in a similar situation. This 6-week programme runs at specific times throughout the year (Summer Start, Autumn Start, Winter Start, Spring Start). Only 20 places available to ensure personalised attention.
The Immersion programme (£995) is a tailored programme, designed for teachers who want direct, ongoing contact with me specifically, not just a course. It is the right choice if you are preparing for an interview, about to lead a department in an IB school, or simply feeling insecure and want someone reviewing your actual planning, or a piece of your own teaching work, over an extended period rather than a fixed 6-week window. Book a call with me to check availability and discuss arrangements.
