IB Regional workshop

Mr.Samuel,
IBDP Biology Faculty





The IB workshop (for the Asia Pacific Region) was held at Stonehill International School, Bangalore. I attended the same for the Biology Level 2 segment. There were 14 other participants for the Biology segment 2 from schools in India and abroad.
Our Resource person was Ms. Eirwen Stevenson from Australia. She brought with her the rich experience of being a Biology teacher for The IB Diploma Programme for 20 years besides being a moderator for IAs and examiner for Paper 3 for many years.
The three days workshop included sessions on Curriculum Review, Internal assessments, Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge in Biology besides several interactive sessions which exposed us to the very core of Group 4 In the IB Hexagon and the importance of Biology as a subject in this group.
She let us mark some papers as well as labs and EE and compare our grades with hers……….. It opened our eyes to a new dimension of examining papers and moderating the same.
I personally benefitted a lot from this rich learning experience.
