OverviewThe International Baccalaureate (IB) is a respected qualification gaining increasing currency around the world, and has been adopted by a wide variety of schools - both public and private. In the UK, growing dissatisfaction with A-level qualifications has led to an intense debate about alternative qualifications, and in many schools IB courses have been introduced alongside conventional A-level courses. This practical introduction to the IB takes a balanced look at the pros and cons of the IB and features a wealth of advice from those actually involved in teaching and implementing the IB in schools. It will also provide comparative material on how IB courses differ from A-levels and a subject-by-subject account of best practice in teaching the IB. This book will be a rich source of practical advice for any teachers, school leaders or managers involved in teaching or implementing IB programmes.
