MONICA NIXON
As a self-portrait, this intimate piece encapsulates the beginning of my journey as an artist, as it was the first piece I created in the IB Visual
Arts curriculum. To me, this piece represents my potential as an artmaker, representing my trials with novel mediums and techniques, such
as using watercolour, markers and pastels for the first time. This was one of my most technically challenging works due to the discrepancies
in painting style in each of the squares, yet I believe this adds to the power of the piece, depicting the possible avenues I could take in my
IB art journey. The theme of this piece was variety and exploration, and this was showcased in my use of colour - I brought bright colours
forward in order to liven up the piece, yet additionally used some earthy tones and dark blues to ground the piece and give it some depth;
such as around the eyes, I used darker colours to centre the piece. Additionally, this piece was created as an extension of a project on digital
manipulation, where technology and filters were used to skew an image and ultimately create an artwork. This use of filters pushed me to
paint and create art in a style that was irregular, and ultimately inspired the digital creation and style of many future artworks.

How might school communities design and structure learning experiences and
environments to support the development and demonstration of student agency
through action and engagement beyond the classroom?
In this workshop participants will:
• Learn how to inspire and support learners to engage in purposeful, authentic, critical
and mindful action, in its various forms in response to local and global challenges and
opportunities.
• Learn to have deeper conversations with students about how to engage with local
and global communities.
• Explore the concepts of agency and action and their manifestations across the
programmes (action, service as action, creativity activity service, service learning).
• Evaluate approaches to learning and teaching that aim to support understanding of
and engagement with complex issues in a way that honors personal and community
needs and aspirations.
• Identify opportunities for institutional growth, enhanced curriculum design and
deeper and responsive community engagement.

RECOMMENDED FOR:
This workshop is geared for educators who are either presently
in a leadership role that requires a degree of financial skills and
understanding or for those aspiring to positions of additional
responsibility where finance will be a part of the role.
The workshop will provide opportunities for you to inquire into
the role of finance and accounting in IB schools and understand
how financial projections and budgets support planning and
help forward your school’s mission. You will also look at how
financial analysis can be used to construct meaning and help to
optimize decision-making and how it can be understood within
the specific local context. The workshop will also allow you to
see how financial numbers produce different “truths” with the
same set of figures and how you can create accounting and
finance arguments linked to a broader narrative appropriate for
specific audiences.
RECOMMENDED FOR:
This workshop is relevant for new and aspiring leaders in IB
schools who want to explore how professional learning can be
developed in their own school communities, and how schools
can develop as IB-focused professional learning communities
in different cultural contexts.
The IB has foundational approaches which support the
important emerging trend of emphasizing well-being in
schools. We take a student-centric approach which values
and nurtures learners’ diverse talents and strengths in today’s
competitive, stress-fueled world. This workshop gives you
the tools to develop, plan and implement an inclusive whole
school well-being program. It will do so through the lens of
professional inquiries: What is well-being? Why focus on well-
being? How can we teach well-being? How do we flourish?

In this workshop, heads of school are challenged to think about the process
of leadership differently, to base their decision-making and actioning on a
foundation of deeper understanding of the complex nature of their own

this understanding, leaders—together with the IB—will consider the ways in

of their IB programme, through the thoughtful development of purpose, culture
and environment, in alignment with the IB’s mission and philosophy. Working
with each other and the workshop leaders, participants will:

More than 120,000 DP students will be entering university
each year. IB students represent a broad range of nationalities
from over 150 countries and reflect diverse experiences and
perspectives that they apply to their learning in the DP/CP. These
experiences, in combination with the emphasis on international-
mindedness and academic rigour of the DP/CP, provide students
with a unique set of skills, attitudes and perspectives for success
in university and life in the 21st century. During this workshop,
there will be an opportunity to develop a clearer understanding
of how university recognition impacts a student’s application
to university, and to explore strategies in which schools can
support students to maximize their chances of acceptance at
their chosen university.
