Disc #1: Widen Their Worlds: Teaching for Global Action Disc #2: Widen Their Worlds: Connecting Across Disciplines Disc #3: Widen Their Worlds: Building on Learners’ Inquiries

This series of DVDs and viewer’s guides will spotlight the keystones of the IB’s philosophy of international education and offer guidance on applying these core components into any classroom or curriculum.

Because every IB World School must implement these aspects of an international education, case study footage from IB classrooms—from all regions, programmes, and types of schools—will demonstrate the educational element in action. The DVDs will offer tips for planning the curriculum, instructional strategies, ways to overcome challenges, ideas for assessing progress, and issues to consider while reflecting on the outcomes. Classroom clips will be supplemented by commentary from IB teachers and students, as well as perspectives from experts.

A viewer’s guide accompanying each DVD would include key questions and learning objectives, an introductory overview of the topic, background information on the featured classrooms, suggestions for points at which to pause and reflect, and activities to aid implementation in one’s own school community.
