As a newbie to IB Economics, despite having done my 'homework'—reading through IB documents and subject reports from previous years—I still felt insecure about IAs. Brad's New Teacher Workshop was incredibly helpful in clarifying things and helping me develop a strategy that is 'supported by effective and balanced reasoning.'

The most helpful part of Brad’s Internal Assessment Workshop was the clarity it provided on the structure of the Internal Assessment and the best types of articles to use to get the most out of it. I was very grateful for Brad’s consistent ability to answer my questions throughout, ensuring I fully understood what was being communicated and could reflect on and challenge some of my current practices.

Of all the teacher workshops I have participated in across AP, IB, and IGCSE, I would say Brad's IB Economics Teacher Summit in Shanghai has been the best and most rewarding. Working with Brad, seeing his process, and sharing in his understanding of the IB Economics course has been fantastic. I cannot recommend it highly enough for those who are new to the IB, new to Economics, or experienced educators looking for that extra edge in the classroom.

Everything about the workshop was thoughtfully designed—materials were well-organized and presented logically, allowing me to synthesize them into my own teaching resources without feeling overwhelmed.

Brad takes the time to carefully consider questions and provides explanations that are educational, non-judgmental, and genuinely helpful. I especially appreciated the opportunity to meet with Brad for a follow-up session 24 hours after the workshop. It gave me time to reflect on what I had learned and formulate more thoughtful questions than I would have had otherwise.

Barbora | Czech Republic

IB Economics Teacher

As a new Economics teacher, I struggled to find the right pace while trying to bridge the gap between what the IB expects students to know and what I needed to do as a teacher to prepare them for their exams. I had so many questions: Do I teach everything? How do I support my students so they not only understand the content, diagrams, and facts but also develop the critical skills needed to analyze and evaluate with confidence? How do I ensure my IA marking aligns with IB examiners’ standards?

At Brad's New Teacher Workshop, not only did I get answers to these questions, but during the workshop, I also gained valuable skills and resources that have significantly boosted my confidence in teaching. Thanks to Brad, I feel my students are now well-supported to not only succeed in their exams but also to become knowledgeable and critically thinking economists.

Mei Ng | New Zealand

IB Economics Teacher

Brad's Extended Essay in Economics workshop was excellent! It gave me the opportunity to set aside time to reflect and take a closer look at the marking criteria. When teaching or marking a subject for a long time, it’s easy to rush through the basics and overlook details that could help students achieve the top mark band. This workshop encouraged me to critically reflect on how I teach Extended Essay writing and assess the final essay, which has been incredibly valuable.

Daniel | United States

IB Economics Teacher

The Launching the School Year workshop was incredibly helpful in preparing for the school year. Having never taught IB Economics before, I started the course unsure of where to begin or what to prioritize. In just four weeks, I felt like I learned what might have otherwise taken me three years to figure out on my own. The workshop not only provided a clear framework for understanding the course but also equipped me with practical strategies for discussing, planning, and teaching it—tools I could implement with my students right away.

Sharmie | United States
