• Rice University To Debut Diploma Programme Training in Spring 2005

Rice University in Houston, Texas, will offer its first IB Diploma Programme teacher training 11-13 March 2005. In addition to Level 1 workshops for new IB teachers and Level 2 workshops for experienced IB teachers, a new model of Level 3 workshops for experienced IB teachers will also be offered. In the Level 3 workshops, participants will have the opportunity to interact with university faculty and to explore topics at depth.  With presentations by Rice faculty and facilitation by IBNA's experienced workshop leaders, a classroom environment will be created that will allow participants to delve more deeply into the content of the course. Level 3 workshops will include English A1, history of the Americas, math SL/HL and nanotechnology in all IB sciences.

The University's School of Continuing Studies, through whom the IB Workshops are offered, has a ten-year history of offering high-quality teacher professional development programs.
