International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme Theatre Student Handbook

The International Baccalaureate (IB) and the International Schools Theatre Association (ISTA) are thrilled and proud to announce the release of the Diploma Programme Theatre Student Handbook.

Written by experts to give students comprehensive coverage of the IB theatre guide, the Diploma Programme Theatre Student Handbook is a clear, practical and imaginative toolkit filled with practical activities and top tips for assessment. Providing students with everything they need for their IB theatre journey and reflecting a constructivist approach to teaching and learning, this title is intended to both supplement course delivery from a subject-specialist teacher and to help steer those students who are working independently.

Each chapter contains practical activities to stimulate inquiry-based exploration and is suitable for both individual solo exploration and collaborative group exercises. Each section deliberately highlights links to the IB’s Learner Profile attributes as well as reinforcing the responsibilities of the internationally-minded young theatre-maker in making ethical and sustainable choices in their theatre work.

With space provided throughout for the student’s own written reflections, illustrations and the journaling of their developing ideas and processes, this new handbook offers a valuable record of their ongoing learning.

This unique resource is:
