Becoming an IB School - COVID-19 edition - A Virtual Authorization Visit w/Asnaha Fahreen

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of IB Matters we talk to Asnaha Farheen in Bangladesh. She is an experienced PYP coordinator now guiding a new PYP candidate school through authorization. We had intended to talk when her visit was completed to see how it went. However, we recorded this podcast during the shut down of schools world-wide in the wake of the COVID-19 virus and as a result her journey to become an authorized IB World School has taken a turn. She is now preparing for a virtual authorization visit - something that is entirely new and only used in this unusual circumstance. Most of this episode is devoted to Asnaha’s description of her preparation for the now virtual visit. If your school is awaiting an authorization or verification visit, you may learn from her work.Here is the link to the IB Guidance Document for Virtual visits.Here is the link to the IB Matters WebsiteEmail IB Matters: [email protected] (IB_Matters)Twitter @MattersIBIB Matters websiteMN Association of IB World Schools (MNIB) websiteDonate to IB MattersPodcast: Education by Design with host Phil EvansIB Matters T-shirts (and other MNIB clothing) To appear on the podcast or if you would like to sponsor the podcast, please contact us at the email above.
