🗣️ CALL FOR PRESENTERS 📣

CLARITY & CONFIDENCE: TEACHING IB PSYCHOLOGY WITH EASE

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST.

We are now inviting speakers for the inaugural PsychWise Summit, dedicated to supporting IB Psychology teachers in gaining clarity and confidence as they navigate the intricacies of the curriculum. Hosted by PsychWise Hub, this virtual event aims to bring together educators from around the world for a day of collaboration, learning, and growth. Find out more here.

You might be thinking, "I can't present; I've only been teaching for __ years." Think again! If you've been teaching IB Psychology for even a year, you know more than a teacher who hasn't started yet. Wouldn't you have been grateful for a teacher with even 1 year of experience in your corner as you set off on your journey? Remember - 'Obvious to you; amazing to others.'

You might also be thinking, 'The end of July is my holiday time; I don't want to have to turn up and present.' The beauty is you don't have to! While there are live components to the summit, your session will be recorded in advance. In fact, you can record your session as soon as your proposal has been accepted - well before the holidays even begin.

Concerned that you won't be able to fill an hour? You don't need to. Our sessions (except the keynotes) will be 20 to 30 minutes. Teachers are time-pressured, so we want to ensure we deliver digestible, practical information they can use immediately. We will avoid overwhelming people with too much information and instead focus on topics that matter.

How will we know what topics matter? We have a panel of new and experienced IB Psychology teachers who review submissions. If they say it's useful, it must be!

Does this mean we will accept low-quality submissions? Absolutely not. We are committed to bringing teachers an event that will blow their socks off. At the same time, we believe in empowering all teachers, including those who may be nervous about presenting. We know that if you've been teaching IB Psychology, you have learned how to navigate the course and serve your students to the best of your ability. Rather than insist on years of experience, we will support you through digital materials and live training sessions to ensure you feel prepared for your session.
