Global Education = Future Oriented Education

Room: Superior A

presented by Irene Davy, Director, Sunnybrook School

Good educators have always asked themselves "what will my students need to know and be able to do in the future?". Global, or International Education is by definition future oriented. Future orientation in IB education is expressed in the approach to problem finding and problem solving, in curriculum choices and in the IB learner profile. This session will explore ways to emphasize future orientation in our planning, teaching and assessing, to achieve the goals of the IB mission statement and the learner profile. This will be a multi-media presentation with some interactive components.
