Before+the+Workshop

Please take the time to review the following information prior to arriving for the workshop in order that the workshop leader can be better prepared to customize the program according to the group's needs and expectations. Please contact mark.bethune45@gmail.com if you have any difficulty accessing any of the links or completing forms.


 * 1) Although not entirely necessary, it would be most helpful to ensure that you have a Google account set up. If you don't have one, you can sign up for one here. I will be using Google Docs and other Google tools frequently to support one of the two main goals - addressing teaching strategies. I do realize this may be somewhat problematic for participants working in China, so pdf files will also be available.
 * 2) The draft planner can be accessed here. It also contains all the necessary pre-workshop links. Please note that sessions are subject to change depending on the needs of participants.
 * 3) This workshop is a category 2 workshop. The [|Category 2 Workshop Goals and Objectives.pdf] must be read. Please be sure that you are registered in the correct category. If you are a teacher new to IB, you should be attending a Category 1 workshop.
 * 4) Please complete a short bio of yourself and your teaching experience on this page.
 * 5) Please complete the Graphing Calculator Questionnaire in order for me to better assess GDC proficiency prior to the workshop. Responses are automatically submitted.
