Teachers

Follow up on resource acquisitions.

Consult and register teachers for relevant IB recognised professional development workshops.

Encourage qualified teachers to join the IB network, Facebook groups, forums, and/or apply to serve as IB examiners or other IBEN (IB Educator Network) roles.

Establish regular collaborative planning meetings for the entire CP team to include; CRS teachers, DP subject teachers and core programme staff.

This is not always easy to achieve but essential to build a cohesive programme. It is vital that everyone involved with the programme understands and integrates the different elements.

Try to have a specific focus at each meeting. Ask core programme staff to present their component and facilitate connections across the programme. You can also draw the focus from the ATLs or ATTs, the learner profile, or from key IB principles such as international-mindedness and responsible action.

Remind teachers about resources available on the PRC or in ManageBac such as a sample CP Unit Planner.

Students

CP1 student induction.

Check in with CP2 students to discuss college application plans.

Involve CP2 students in CP1 student induction.

For a personal touch, contact all parents of IB CP2 students to arrange 1:1 meetings to answer any questions they may have about university applications SAT/ACT, college admissions, course progress, etc.

Marketing

Consider running regular ‘CP Spotlight’ on social media or the school website or newsletter. You could alternate between teachers, students and alumni to focus on CP students' destinations, achievements and community involvement.

Send your administration prospective dates for CP presentation events. Find out when course registration will occur for the next year and schedule the nights well in advance to give time for applications.

Send an exam registration newsletter to CP2 students and parents detailing exam registration and payment processes.
