The Cohort Model for the Extended Essay Workshop

As a newly appointed Extended Essay Coordinator, I found both The Cohort Model and Effectively Supervising Any Extended Essay workshops incredibly useful in helping me implement the entire Extended Essay process. While I will need to go through a full Extended Essay cycle to evaluate its success, I am already very confident, based on the conversations I’ve had with my IB Coordinator, that it will bring tremendous benefits to our school. Thank you to Brad and Kurt for sharing their experience and advice!

Effectively Supervising Any Extended Essay Teacher Workshop

I’m so glad I chose to spend part of my Saturday attending this thorough and helpful professional development session on supervising the Extended Essay process! Having been an Extended Essay Coordinator for 11 years, it’s easy to become too attached to our established ways of managing this process. I’m excited to incorporate many (if not all!) of the strategies I learned to reboot our process for our next cohort, which begins in just a few short months!

Thank you for an insightful workshop experience!

This workshop was very well-organized and offered a perspective I hadn’t considered before. The best part was that it was only three hours—succinct and focused on how to tweak your current approach to better support students and teachers with this task. Thank you for the great ideas!

I truly appreciated the thoughtful answers to our questions and the stories that helped us see different perspectives. When they knew the answers, they provided clear guidance. If they weren’t experts on a particular topic, they offered their best advice without pretending to be the authority. This honesty was incredibly helpful as well.

Shannon | United States

Customized IB Faculty Training

Having a customized workshop that meets the specific needs of an entire site is incredibly rare. Brad and Kurt took the time to truly listen to us—through meetings and digital communication—and created a training that was exactly what we asked for! We presented them with a tall order: braiding together MYP and Diploma Programme so our staff could find cohesion between the two, and they delivered with flying colors. They spent four days with us, listening to all our thoughts and providing usable and practical materials. Honestly, I can never thank them enough.

Brad’s Cohort Model for the Extended Essay Workshop was exactly what I needed to transform how I approach the Extended Essay process at my school. The workshop provided a clear, step-by-step framework for managing a group of students effectively, from brainstorming topics to final submissions. Brad and Kurt’s insights on how to create a collaborative and supportive environment for both students and supervisors were invaluable. The practical tools and resources shared during the session have already made me rethink how I am going to organize and oversee the Extended Essay process.

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. Even though the workshop was full, the session was highly interactive and felt almost personalized.

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.

I attended Brad's teacher workshop on better Understanding IB Assessments, and it was an outstanding experience. Brad is a master at using models to build clarity. 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.

Jan | Poland

IB Economics Teacher

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.'

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.

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.

Perry | United Kingdom
