Three Steps to a more equitable Diploma Programme - Robert Kohnert

Send us Fan Mail This is the second of several 'Quickcasts' to introduce listeners to vendors and presenters at the 2025 IB Global conference in New Orleans. This episode features Robert Kohnert, a coordinator of advanced programming in Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS). Robert uses his experience in MPS to drill down into what is working and what could be improved to help students who take up the Diploma Programme. He has three steps to share with attendees: how to get students into the DP classes, how to encourage them to take the exams, and, of course, how to help them be successful in those exams. Robert will be presenting on Thursday, July 17th at 2:00 in Gallery 5 on the second floor. If you are unable to attend and want to learn more about Robert's work, check out the slide deck available after the conference from IB, or reach out to me (link below) and I can share it with you.
