FAQ

These category definitions are from official IB publications. Please note that they do NOT say that Category 1 workshops are for “applicant” schools. “Applicant schools” is a term not used anywhere in these definitions.

Choose Category 1 workshops if you are new to the IB or if your situation is similar to any of the following:

  • You are new to the faculty of a longstanding IB World School and have not taught in an IB programme previously.
  • You are aware of the IB philosophy and programme structure but are not experienced in teaching or administering the IB.
  • You are familiar with the IB subject guide (including assessment procedures, moderation) and would like greater confidence before teaching a course.
  • You have inherited a course and would like a review before teaching it to suit your own style and expertise.


Choose Category 2 workshops to develop your expertise in delivering an IB programme. You will have an opportunity to:

  • make connections between programme frameworks and classroom practice
  • enhance your understanding of assessment in IB programmes
  • discuss and analyze standards and practices


Choose Category 3 workshops to go more deeply into areas you enjoy and to deepen your understanding and mastery of a particular area or subject.

Why do we charge when people cancel?

  1. FLIBS has created workshop materials for the cancelling registrant.
  2. FLIBS has hired workshop leaders based upon this registrant’s promise to attend.
  3. FLIBS has, in the case of late cancellations, lost the income from a waitlisted participant.

Wait listed requests are processed in the order they are received. We will notify wait listed participants via email (sent to the participant as well as to the IB Coordinator) if a seat becomes available. Either the participant or the IB Coordinator must accept or decline the seat in writing (via email) within five days of notification. Payment is not needed to hold a spot on the wait list. We prefer that you do not pay unless a seat is offered and accepted.
