New release: Taking the IB CP Forward

John Catt Educational is pleased to announce the publication of Taking the IB CP Forward, edited by Judith Fabian, Mary Hayden and Jeff Thompson.

The IB Career-related Programme for 16 to 19 year olds was launched in 2012. Designed for young people who want to prepare for a career and the world of work alongside their academic studies, the CP adds a new dimension to an IB education, opening it up to a wider range of student needs and aspirations.

This edited collection provides ideas and support for those involved in implementing the CP, or planning to introduce it in the future. The chapters are written by practitioners, some of whom have been involved with the CP from its earliest days, who provide forthright accounts of the significant rewards the introduction of the CP has brought to their students.

Taking the IB CP Forward explores the key elements of the programme, its flexibility and how it can implemented to meet the needs of a range of educational contexts.
