LearningSession Highlights
Paradigm Shift in School Project Management
This session is a workshop on the topic of school project management and the paradigm shift that has taken place in this area. We discuss our evolution and current best practices in project management using ManageBac, after conducting a year of action research in the MYP at International School of Bergen. On this journey we have shifted from project invisibility to project visibility. We will explain how we have achieved good communication, accessibility, inclusion, and transparency. The result is a coherent and cohesive continuum in our project work, which can transfer to project work across the IB continuum.
Speaker Bio
I’ve been teaching IB at the International School of Bergen (ISB) in Norway since 2012. I started with teaching the English Literature and Business Management courses in the Diploma Programme, and now teach English Language & Literature in the MYP.
I also worked during a year sabbatical at South Fork High School in Florida as English teacher and IBDP Coordinator. Back in Bergen, I am now the MYP Coordinator at ISB.
I have always been interested in good organisation and smooth processes in the school workplace, and therefore have been a huge advocate for fully utilising the capabilities of ManageBac. Along with my colleague Jules Crossley-Nilsen, we are the platform Administrators, we earned the ManageBac certification for Administrators in London, and we are now ManageBac Communi-tea Ambassadors. This school year we conducted action research on projects in ManageBac, and we will be holding a workshop in Geneva on this specific topic.
