Toddle has been working on a very special event designed specifically for school leaders called the School Leaders Bootcamp .
It's happening virtually on March 3rd and 4th and we've got some amazing speakers lined up: Seth Godin, George Couros, Stephen Covey, Holly Ransom, and Diane Tavenner.
We've got a ton of great stuff planned - interactive keynotes, networking, masterclasses, and case studies by experienced educators and leadership experts. And best of all…it's completely free!
Over 5,000 school leaders from 100+ countries have already registered, and we would love for the school leaders from MNIB to join us as well. We can assure you that the learning and takeaways will be unparalleled.
Hope to see you at this amazing and free event!
Nearly 60 coordinators met together in the morning and then broke out into PYP, MYP, DP and CP Programmes groups.

Champlin Park Principal, Michael George, earns MNIB Leadership Award
Principal Mike George was recognized by the Minnesota Association of IB World Schools (MNIB) for his outstanding leadership in a Minnesota IB school.
George was surprised with the award during an administrators meeting at CPHS Feb. 8 when MNIB executive director Jon Peterson presented him with the award in front of his leadership team at the school.
It was a beautiful fall day in St. Paul, Minnesota with about 60 members in attendance.
We enjoyed gathering together in person for the first time since March 2020 with presentations and discussion in the morning. Then, we broke into Programme (PYP, MYP, DP, CP) groups after taking our lunches outside in Baker Park.

Some of the resources available to Champlin Park CP students included amazing welding, machining and CNC equipment, along with aviation simulators and medical training facilities.
We had a great visit to the Anoka schools STEP Center
About 10 MNIB Career-related Programme coordinators and their DP colleagues toured the Champlin Park CP offerings at the Anoka-Hennepin District tech education center known as STEP. We began with a roundtable of CP coordinators at Champlin Park HS before traveling to STEP to see welding, nursing assistant, aviation, and EMT classes in action. Champlin offers 8 CTE pathways and serves as a great model for other CP (and aspiring CP) schools.
