Re: PD for non IB teachers

Thank you very much for your reply. For the last 5 years I have been teaching at an American elementary school but only Greek as a foreign language .
If I attend some workshops and at the same time try to be certified in social studies will that increase my chances? How can someone have the experience for an IS ?
My other option off course is to find IS in Greece but there are not many and you usually have to know the right people that could introduce me to a particular school. Still, I would rather have more options to work either to Greece or to any school in Europe. I'm just making a research to see if it's worth it. What can someone do to get the first experience?
Also, at the ibo website I saw a list of universities recommended for obtaining a certification . I looked into it but it usually last too long and it costs a lot! What is the difference between the workshops and the certification from a university?

Thanks again for your answer!

PD for non IB teachers

Hello everybody
I am a teacher specialized in Greek language, literature and history . My degree is in Philosophy and education and my MA in continuing education. I am interested in applying for a job to IB schools but I am not sure what kind of qualifications are required to teach at this position.I am also wondering if the field of my studies is demanded by IB schools.
Could anyone give me some information about what kind of professional development is best for the IB schools? And what kind of teaching position I could apply for?
Thank you
