In June of 2018, I earned my IB Certificate in Teaching and Learning, specializing in Language Acquisition of the Diploma Programme (DP) with a focus on French. I completed four courses in Curriculum Processes, Teaching and Learning, Assessment and Evaluation, and Professional Learning. With this certification, I’m eligible to teach in over one hundred IB schools in Ontario and in over forty-six hundred IB schools worldwide. Regardless of whether or not my career path leads to an IB school, the knowledge and training provided by the IB Organization allows me to present learning opportunities for my students to build on prior knowledge and further develop transferable skills that they can apply to real-world scenarios. Furthermore, this qualification has equipped me with the knowledge and skills that I need to help students develop a strong sense of international-mindedness that will propel them to seek learning opportunities outside of the classroom.
