- The role of an educator is to be empathetic, and to care about the education and well-being of their students. Good educators aim to find a balance between being an authoritative figure in the classroom, and being someone who students are comfortable speaking to. A good educator will be passionate about their subject area, and carry out engaging lessons that make students ask questions and want to learn more.
- The role of the student is to synthesize the information that their teachers present to them. More importantly, the role of the student is to ask questions and not just simply accept information that is given to them.
- As a teacher, the IBDP education is significant because it allows the teachers to grow along with their students, and challenges the teachers to continuously update their own knowledge to keep up with the pace of the changing world and new students. An IBDP education is significant for students because they are not expected to simply absorb the different subjects they enrol in. Students are taught how to learn, and they are also given direction and guidance that helps them to develop life skills that will hopefully allow them to become more successful later in their educations.
