Short Session Description (one line):

Design and Implement Global Teaching Strategies as a Full-time Teacher-on-Call in an International School. 

Full Session Description (as long as you would like):

            Today’s reality is that many new teachers will not find full-time teaching positions right away and will be employed as temporary teachers/teachers-on-call/substitute/supply teachers.    Make the most of this opportunity! Design and implement global teaching strategies as a Full-time Teacher-on-Call in an International School.   Being a Teacher-on-Call in an International Baccalaureate School is globally focused by its very definition.  As stated in the IB Principles Into Practice 2000 edition, the “ IB framework emphasis is placed on developing the skills and attitudes, the understanding of concepts and the knowledge needed to participate in an increasingly global society.The big question is, how can I be an effective substitute teacher preparing students to participate in an “increasing global society”? As an experienced Middle Years Programme teacher-on-call at an International Baccalaureate School, I will share best practices on how to include fundamentals of global teaching strategies to ensure we prepare students to participate in an increasing global society.
