GIBS ROUNDTABLES

GIBS schools come together regularly throughout the school year to support one another with IB best practices and to share curriculum knowledge. Roundtables are set up throughout the school year to bring subject area teachers together from across our network of schools. Hosted by GIBS member schools, the Roundtables allow teachers and administrators to engage in a dialogue about a specific IB subject or requirement of the IB curriculum. This is an invaluable, cost effective professional development for GIBS member schools and an important opportunity for educators to meet and share ideas with one another. Use the calendar view to see our upcoming PYP, MYP, CP and DP opportunities.
