The M.Ed. in Advanced Teaching was designed in cooperation with the International Baccalaureate (IB). The IB is a global leader in the provision of high-quality, accessible programs for K-12 students. Offered by almost 5,000 schools in more than 150 countries, IB programs encourage both personal growth and academic achievement. The IB requirement to attend a Category 1 Workshop is waived for qualified graduates of the M.Ed. program. IB staff members were part of a Combined UoPeople-IB Working Group that shepherded the creation of the program from its inception through to its receiving approval from the accrediting agency. They brought valuable expertise and insights to the design and development process.
