In 2021, after 11 years teaching music in a state school in the home counties, I moved to Europe and began teaching music in an international school. This was my first experience of the International Baccalaureate (IB), which is taught in my school across both the Middle Years Programme (MYP), years 7–11, and the Diploma Programme (DP), years 12–13. After two academic years I am moving on, which gives me a chance to reflect on my time with the IB and consider what I’ll take forward into the next chapter of my teaching career.
Before I begin it must be noted that I am speaking from my experiences in one school, with some knowledge of other contexts, through CPD, training, and my professional networks. By no means is my experience indicative of the IB as a whole.
