The IB Educator Network (IBEN)

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we talk to Kurt Carlson, a trainer in the IB Educator Network - known as IBEN. We will hear how the IB uses a cadre of current teachers (who take part in continuous professional development) as trainers for the entire network of IB teachers in schools across the globe. It is their work as IB Educators that ensures the IB principles and practices are in place in every IB school. IBEN members play different roles in the organization: subject area trainers, site visitors, school consultants, among others. Kurt lays out the benefits of becoming an IBEN member both for the teacher and their home school communities. Listen to see how you might become a part of this important work helping train the next generation of IB teachers and leaders.
