The success of the 2012-13 IBSCA Teacher Workshops is overwhelming. Here are just a few snippets:

“Overall, excellent organisation and a quality workshop; a credit to the provider for such an excellent package.”

“As a consequence of the lower price, my school decided to send two delegates instead of one.”

“Oxford is a reputable historic place, an inspiring learning environment – the inspiration it conjures is a great bonus.”

“Staying in a garret room of a 350+ year college and reeking of atmosphere? And eating dinner at the High Table in The Hall? Wonderful.”

“Arden House at Warwick University offered an enjoyable experience: good accommodation and food, and fantastic conference facilities.”

Triple A Learning/OSC Online Professional Development Workshops

In order to extend Professional Development opportunities to teachers, Triple A Learning’s successful Online IB Professional Development Workshops are now available through OSC.

The online workshops are an ideal alternative for teachers and school staff who cannot take time away from school. The collaborative workshops are asynchronous with an online mentor that guides the participants’ learning.

The next set of Triple A Learning/OSC Online Workshops take place in October 2013. A full schedule will be released soon, however, subjects and development areas will include: Developing and Extending CAS, Extended Essays, Higher Education Cancellation, and many more. Check here for updates.

With prices starting from £200.00, the ability for participants to schedule their own learning, and the nature of the workshops, they provide an invaluable source of professional development.

OSC are delighted to be able to offer this additional support to schools and teachers.
