Let’s Talk IB
An IB education develops lifelong learners. As your child’s first teacher, you play an important role in helping them take their learning deeper. Encourage your child to prioritise reflection.
We want students to think about their thinking. An IB education is not just about memorizing facts and skills in isolation. We say that as IB educators, our job is to help students learn how to learn. Memorizing facts will only get you so far, but learning how to use your curiosity about the world around you to ask questions and investigate to find answers is a skill that sets students up for a lifetime of success. How can you prioritize reflection at home? Ask them reflection questions
