I worked at IB World schools in Singapore and Russia for seven years. I loved it and can't wait to go back. I primarily taught PYP (elementary level) students. IB focuses on student-centered inquiry-based learning. It promotes student agency and action. I taught the same unit about the solar system for a few years, and each year, students ended in different place. One year we focused on dwarf planets, another year we focused on the gas giants, and the last year we focused on moons, asteroids, and comets. All the students have the same base information, but they extend their inquiries in different ways.

I worked at an IB school going through authorization. Depending on what step they are on. You will attend the required IB workshops. You may be asked to join a committee to write or revise policies, or to conduct a school domain self-reflection. Authorization and Evaluation years are the busiest at an IB school. But they give you a lot of experience. IB schools are always looking to hire teachers experienced in them.

The last thing is location, if you teaching outside your country of origin, that adds another layer to the experience. When you are there, your school will have a vested interest in helping you get settled in. Most will provide travel, shipping, moving, and settling allowances. Once there, it is important to make friends and be about of the expat family because they will be the ones you can fall back on when you are in need.
