IB Matters
IB Matters is a podcast (established in April 2019) which brings listeners content related to International Baccalaureate (IB) education. It is for students, parents, and teachers interested in learning more about IB and for those working in IB schools wanting access to pedagogical support for their teaching.

The podcast is hosted in Minnesota by the MN Association of IB World Schools (MNIB) but is intended for a global audience.

Time to recognize the vital role of the CP with Jon Halligan

In this episode of IB Matters we talk with Jon Halligan, an experienced IB educator based in the Netherlands about the unique place of the Career-related Programme (the CP) in the suite of IB offerings.
His recently published article (linked below) challenges the IB to help the CP take itself out from the shadow of the more well-known Diploma Programme. Jon argues that each Programme has its own strengths and the CP should have a chance to mature into the equal partner it deserves to be.
Jon Halligan also talks about the new schools group starting up with a unique take on sharing CTE resources across schools to give greater options for students anywhere.
