Becoming an IB School - Episode 1
In this episode of IB Matters we talk to Matthew Scheidler, a newly designated IB coordinator and a principal on special assignment about the process of becoming an IB school.
We have the good fortune of having a nearby school about to become a multi-programme IB school. Rockford High School located about 30 miles west of Minneapolis is a medium sized rural school adding the MYP, DP, and the Career-related programmes all at once to their 9-12 building.
Over a series of podcasts - taking about two years - we will talk to Rockford stakeholders about the decisions leading to this implementation, the process, and the requirements they must meet to become part of the IB World School Community.
Please follow along as we take this journey with the RHS staff and community.
Links to the requirements, the timeline, and the costs involved are found in the program notes for this podcast and other episodes in this series.
