[quote=Anonymous]I teach IB at a secondary school in Europe. I used to teach AP (same subject) in the US. I agree with the PP who wrote that the IB program is not structured to fit the typical American public school system (grade groupings, ethos, etc.). I also don't think that schools/departments who have newly taken up the IB are going to be able to implement it properly: teachers don't really "get it" until they've taught it for a year, preferably with the support of experienced IB colleagues. The on-site IB training seminars and online IB training classes don't really prepare a teacher very well. The IB program works very well in Europe, and I love teaching it, but when we move home my youngest will be doing AP. [/quote]
