I've been teaching in Japanese private high schools for about 9 years. I've been recruited to interview for a Japanese public school that has an IB program. I'm keen to take the challenge of interviewing at the school – but I didn't attend nor have training in IB.
Any suggestions for a quick-study guide on it to seem knowledgeable in the interview? I will say, the school did say their new hire doesn't actually need to have IB experience, it is simply preferred. They will send the new teacher to a week-long training. That all said, I'd like to go in with a better answer than "Well, I've heard of it, but…uh."
(I do have experience with CLIL – incorporating content within the teaching of English, as well as experience as an actual history teacher, not ESOL based. From a brief overview, it does look like the schools IB classes have history, world events, geography, taught completely in English.)
