Introduction

This guide is meant for IB DP coordinators (DPCs). It will likely be most helpful to coordinators in the first few years of service as DPC, but may also be helpful to veteran coordinators as a 'refresher' or to give you a new idea. The guide breaks down the many duties of a DPC into manageable monthly chunks. Each month is further divided into different sections that reflect the various types of duties of the DPC.

Note that this guide is written for May exam session schools, but can easily be adapted for the November exam session.

As with any guide, the organization and timing is dependent on context, and coordinators may need to make adjustments based on elements such as the size of the DP programme, the school's timeline and the amount of time a DPC has available to complete these tasks. Therefore this provides guidelines that you are free to adapt.

Balance is important for us too!
