the IB program coursework. As dictated
by the IB program, an IB officer flew in to
inspect the students’ work.The results will

For the fourth year in a row, IC’s Educa-
tional Recourse Center (ERC) will host
the IB/IC in-cooperation workshops
on campus this summer.The three-day
workshops are aimed towards IB and
non-IB schools which have adopted the
PYP (Primary Years Programme) in
their preschool and elementary levels.
So far, over 60 educators from Leba-
non, various other Arab countries, and
Europe have registered. PYP teach-
ers - including IC teachers, many of
whom are attending the workshops - are
required by the International Baccalau-
reate Organization to take IB approved
workshops. “It’s an invaluable interna-
tional event bringing together educators
from various educational systems and
backgrounds to explore and discuss
common concerns and to gain insight
into each other’s experience,” said ERC
Director Lina Mouchantaf
The workshop topics are: the role of ICT
in PYP; the role of mathematics and
PYP action; and the role of IC in PYP.
