Leading transformation in IB World Schools

3PM-4PM EASTERN - Virtual (ZOOM)

7PM-8PM EASTERN - Virtual (ZOOM)

Overview

Effective transformation in IB World Schools begins with leadership that models equity, agency and shared purpose. In this session—Leading Transformation in IB World Schools—activate the mindsets and frameworks that empower school leaders to dismantle barriers, cultivate inclusive cultures, and guide their communities through sustainable change. Drawing on the IB’s Excellence & Equity (E2) Framework and liberatory design principles, participants will step into stakeholder roles, collaborate on real‐world case studies, and co‑design a leadership plan tailored to their context

Session Description

We will:

• Adopt stakeholder roles
  In a mock committee meeting, assume perspectives (e.g., teacher, student, family, administrator) to surface diverse needs and motivations

• Explore Equity Leadership Stances
  Use the Liberatory Design and Equity Leadership Mindsets to uncover personal biases, build trust, and foster co‑ownership of change

• Evaluate current practices
  Using the Committee Agenda template, audit existing equity initiatives, pinpoint gaps, and set clear, school‑specific goals

• Plan your leadership journey
  Leverage sample agendas and time‑management strategies to structure teacher‑focused learning experiences that align with your equity goals

• Apply one aspect of the IB E2 Framework
  Examine the five pillars—philosophy & culture, preparation & outreach, leadership & administration, learning & teaching, and professional development—to identify levers for removing participation barriers

• Articulate next steps for advancing community learning
  Through small‑group dialogue, share points of discord and confidence, then translate insights into concrete actions for your

Our hope is that by the end of this session, each participant will have tools they can leverage with their school leadership team to co‑created a draft Transformation Roadmap to guide their school’s next phase of equitable, values‑driven IB implementation.
