Board Business

We asked our members to share what they think the new MNIB Mission compels us to do - here's what they said.

(In no particular order)

• Bring back the Summer Conference

• Host Administration brunch meetings

• Work toward more admin /IB coordinator collaboration

• Bring official IB training to the metro area to leverage budgets

• Celebrate successes at every meeting for both students and teachers in our schools

• Create different meeting structures - not always the same format that we have used. Encourage guest student or teacher presentations.

• Pick a classroom of the month and share via Zoom or have teachers come in person to meeting if possible

• Do more cross-programme (PYP, MYP, DP, CP) learning - maybe feature one per meeting

• Do a primer on all four IB Programmes at the fall meeting

• Build a calendar with our plans for 12 months in advance

• Recognize educators doing great work

• Include and encourage community connections with parents, politicians, artists and activists - among others

• Spotlight someone’s work to remove barriers at every meeting. Removing Barriers becomes a featured agenda item every time we gather.

• Survey members after every meeting - looking for how we met our mission goals

• Review our bylaws to find ways they can better align with the mission
