Reducing IB Business Management IA Workload Using AI: Feedback, Assessment, and Academic Integrity
Saturday September 19, 2026 9:45am - 10:45am CEST
Supervising IB Business Management Internal Assessments can be one of the most time-consuming responsibilities for teachers. This practical workshop will demonstrate how to use Artificial Intelligence responsibly to help teachers review IA drafts, generate criterion-aligned feedback, and write final supervisor comments more efficiently. Participants will learn how to analyse student work against IB assessment Criteria A–E, identify strengths and areas for improvement, and generate professional feedback while maintaining academic integrity. The session will focus on reducing workload, improving the quality of feedback, and ensuring alignment with IB assessment standards. Attendees are encouraged to have a ChatGPT subscription that allows for document uploads.

The Significance of Visual Elements in Non-literary Texts in the Diploma Language A, Language and Literature Courses
Saturday September 19, 2026 9:45am - 10:45am CEST
This workshop will discuss the significance/application of visual elements in non-literary texts in the Diploma Language A, Language and Literature courses. In Paper 1, the focus will be on the successful analysis and application of mainly criteria B and partially criteria A/C in relation to Paper 1 texts with visual elements. With regard to the Individual Oral, the selection of possible visual non-literary texts and their analysis in relation to various chosen global topics will be explored. Technical aspects such as colour schemes, composition, perspectives, symbols, implications and design concepts will be considered. The explanations in both parts of the IB-L&L-Exam are based on many years of experience as German L&L-DP-Teacher and as an German L&L-IB examiner, including participation in the respective standardisation teams. The workshop will be held in English. The selected texts will be GLL exam texts or German texts with mainly visual elements; existing text sections will be translated into English.
Participants in the workshop are expected to develop a deeper understanding of how visual elements function in non-literary texts within the context of the ‘DP Language A: Language and Literature’ course, and how these can be taught, selected (IO) and interpreted for the relevant exam components.

Unpacking the ToK Essay Titles
Saturday September 19, 2026 11:15am - 12:15pm CEST
The ToK essay is an integral part of the Core Program in the IB Diploma Program (DP), with the six major titles launched in September of every school year. In the workshop, we would like to “unpack” the titles by addressing key terms and identifying links to the different Areas of Knowledge (AoK).
By the end of the session, ToK teachers in the group will come away with concrete ideas about to support their students in the production of the essay in the different AoKs. Subject teachers will also leave with specific approaches they can take in their content areas to aid students in developing these specific titles. 
 
 
 
 
Session Outcome(s)
  • To develop common understandings, approaches and perspectives about the ToK essay titles in M27.
  • To share examples and resources within the subjects to help students in addressing the ToK titles.
  • To give non ToK teachers tools to support students within content areas in answering the essay titles.

Engagement and Reflection: Making Feedback Work in English Exam Classes
Saturday September 19, 2026 1:15pm - 2:15pm CEST
Description:
I will explore strategies to help International Baccalaureate and IGCSE English students engage actively with feedback by making it clear, actionable, and integral to the learning cycle. I will also share practical ways—through documentation, peer collaboration, and kinesthetic activities—to guide purposeful reflection so students can turn feedback into measurable improvement and take greater ownership of their progress.

Intended Impact:
We often invest significant time in giving feedback, yet students often struggle to interpret or apply it effectively. This workshop will offer practical tools to close that gap, helping exam-level English students engage more deeply with feedback to strengthen their writing, improve assessment outcomes, and take greater responsibility for their learning.

Outcome:
Teachers will leave with actionable ideas they can implement immediately, supported by insights shared during the session. By the end of the workshop, you will have:
  • Practical, ready-to-use strategies for feedback and reflection
  • Templates and examples for student documentation
  • A clearer understanding of how to build a culture of ownership and improvement in English classrooms

Mastering the “Most Wanted” Text Types in DP Language Acquisition
Saturday September 19, 2026 1:15pm - 2:15pm CEST
This workshop introduces teachers to a practical framework for teaching DP Language B Paper 1 text types through modelling, guided analysis, and checklist-based scaffolding. Using authentic prompts and model texts, participants explore how exam tasks signal appropriate genre choice and how explicit teaching of conventions supports student performance. Central to the session is the analysis of a compiled overview of the most frequently appearing (“most wanted”) text types, which highlights recurring genres across recent examination sessions and informs strategic exam preparation.

Active Thinking, Active Students: Whiteboard & Discussion Methods That Stick
Saturday September 19, 2026 2:30pm - 3:30pm CEST
This practical, hands-on session explores simple but powerful routines that make student thinking active, visible, and accountable. Drawing on strategies from Building Thinking Classrooms and TQE (Thoughts, Questions, Epiphanies), participants will experience structures such as standing groups, onemarker protocols, targeted prompts, and short discussion cycles that shift students from passive completion to genuine cognitive engagement. Through modeling, guided practice, and reflection, teachers will see how whiteboards and structured questioning can quickly elevate the quality of student talk, promote productive struggle, and provide immediate formative insights.

Empowering Students Through Inquiry-Based Learning and Peer Teaching in DP Sciences
Saturday September 19, 2026 5:15pm - 6:15pm CEST
This session is designed for DP sciences, with a specific focus on integrating inquiry-based activities that allow students to take control of their learning while mastering key content, particularly in science. While many parts of the curriculum require teacher-led instruction, there are certain topics in subjects like physics, chemistry, and biology where we can step back and let students drive the lesson through exploration and discovery. The challenge lies in balancing this inquiry approach with the need to cover all necessary content, particularly within the time constraints of the IB curriculum. In this workshop, teachers will learn how to create inquiry-driven lessons that promote self-learning, while still ensuring that practice test questions and required content are effectively integrated. We’ll explore ways to manage time efficiently, allowing students to engage deeply with the material without sacrificing essential learning objectives. By shifting to a facilitator role in certain units, teachers can encourage active student participation, critical thinking, and problem-solving. The focus will be on creating a dynamic classroom environment where students take ownership of their learning, preparing them for success in assessments while fostering a deeper understanding of the subject.
