Room: Mayfair
presented by Gary Little, Associate Superintendent, Vancouver School District
Andy Krawczyk, Principal , Vancouver School District
A key tenet of all three International Baccalaureate Programmes is found in the IB mission statement: "...aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect." The purpose of the breakout session is to demonstrate the critical relationship between school and district in meeting the shared goals of equity, diversity and international mindedness. The presenters will focus on three initiatives of significance that involve district and school in Vancouver. Practical and poignant, sharing internationalism likely raises as many questions as it provides answers. This workshop will provide focus and hope for the work that we do together.
