What fellow educators say about this toolkit:
"This was the easiest way to find IBDP Literature unit plans and examples, and I had everything I needed inside this book. It was just as useful as the IBDP teachers at my school when I was an IBDP student and was trying to figure out my Language A. These resources are so useful and I will definitely be using them in class."
Charles Kinley
IB Literature A Teacher
“ I teach IBDP Language A in my classroom and I have to say, this toolkit makes it easy to prepare my lessons, especially since I have to document my lesson plans and reflections in a certain way. The IBDP toolkit makes it easy for me to write these reflective pieces and prepare my lessons in a logical and organized way. The resources are also very useful, especially the IBDP reading list. The IBDP reading list is a great resource for me because I can share it with my students and we can use it to plan our supplemental studies. I am very grateful for this teacher resource and I highly recommend it to anyone preparing for the IBDP.”
Edward Rowling
IBDP Literature Teacher
“This is a fantastic toolkit for Language A teachers, especially those new to the subject like myself. It has guided me through the subject, even in the first week of teaching, and has been a great resource for planning.”
