Benefits of IEA Diploma course
Teach to your own strengths
Because there is no defined content teachers can teach whatever they want allowing them to teach what they enjoy and think is relevant to their students.
Increased relevance to students
Teachers can tailor their course to their students needs and students can choose to do whatever they want for the project that will be assessed.
Increased motivation
With increased relevance and greater independence teachers should see better motivated students.
Easy management
Teachers will be pleasantly surprised at the straightforward assessment process and general ease of managing the course.
Encourages collaborative learning
For higher levels students need to have a client to work for. At any level students are free to work individually or in groups, which can make the work more fun, more realistic and more challenging.
Develops independence
The IEA teaching approach encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning, developing greater independence - great preparation for 6th form and university.
Encourages students to be creative
The unique assessment rubric allows students complete freedom in both the choice of project and in the way the project is presented. Students are rewarded for creativity rather than playing safe.
