[quote=Anonymous][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[b] also don't think that schools/departments who have newly taken up the IB are going to be able to implement it properly:[/b] 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] I think that's a very good point. You can't just "turn on" IB. It takes a lot of time, effort, and proper setting to make it work. And when it works, it can do wonders. [/quote]
