About this episode

Send us a Text Message.

In April of 2019, we set out to offer information about the IB for a Minnesota audience. Little did we know that it would grow to be heard in over 170 countries and become a labor of love for all things IB and a celebration of the global educational community!

As we begin what we're calling 'Season 4' please join us in helping to use this podcast as a tool to improve the teaching and learning in your own school. Folks have found many creative ways to use our content such as prequels to training or to induct new teachers into the IB. If you have an idea, suggestion, or if you would like to appear on the podcast, drop me a line either by text (link above) or by email at IBMatters@mnibschools.org. 

Be sure to use the podcast webpage linked below to find episodes specific to your interest such as PYP, ATLs, or student engagement.

With heartfelt thanks,
Jon Peterson
