Send us a textDo you need to get your teachers official IB training that doesn't break the bank? Did you know that schools can request specific subjects and categories of training that come straight to you? In this episode, Casey Strecker of Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) and I go over the advantages of in-school workshops. We talk about how to order them, the responsibilities of the host school, and how to use them to get your staff the training that fits your school's needs. Note: The 'blended' model we talk about in the podcast is currently available only in the America's region but all regions support school-requested workshops in multiple formats. These are not just for individual schools. IB Schools Associations, neighboring schools, and whole school districts are using this option to create economical learning opportunities that fit their budgets and schedules.  IB Workshops and Services (pdf 25-25 catalog) IBO Professional DevelopmentMNIB Summer ConferenceEmail IB Matters: IBMatters@mnibschools.orgTwitter @MattersIBIB Matters websiteMN Association of IB World Schools (MNIB) websiteDonate to IB Matters IB Matters T-shirts (and other MNIB clothing) To appear on the podcast or if you would like to sponsor the podcast, please contact us at the email above.

In this episode, we sit down with Dan Nulty, proud Old Grovian, the current Chair of the Old Grovian Association and lifelong supporter of Woodhouse Grove School. Dan shares a rich and personal story that began when he joined the Grove as a boarder in 1990 at just 11 years old, after attending seven different primary schools due to his father’s Army career. Originally bound for Rishworth, fate and a fee hike led him instead to Woodhouse Grove, where he spent seven formative years.Dan reflects on his time as a student: excelling in sports with first-team honours in squash, cricket, rugby and tennis; earning school colours in squash and rugby; and taking on leadership roles as Head of Vinter House and School Prefect. He also reminisces about his theatrical moments on stage in The Importance of Being Earnest and Was He Anyone.After school, Dan embarked on a successful 16-year career in banking with NatWest before switching paths into dental sales, where he’s spent the past seven years. We also hear how he met his wife Emma at Lancaster University - who now happens to be Deputy Head at Woodhouse Grove! The Grove connection runs deep, with their children currently in Years 9 and 12 at the school.Dan talks about balancing family life, coaching his son's rugby team at Ilkley, cheering from the sidelines at school matches and sneaking in the occasional round of golf.This is a story of loyalty, leadership and legacy and how one man’s school experience came full circle - continuing to shape not only his own life but now the lives of his children.Your Host: Eve Corry, Development Officer at Woodhouse Grove (st24-) Studio Technician: Jay Sunley at Woodhouse Grove (st23-) Music: Paul Corry Contact us: Keep in Touch | Woodhouse Grove School
