What were the biggest ideas to emerge from Season Two of IB Unplugged?
In this special season finale, Courtney and John look back on the conversations that challenged their thinking, influenced their classrooms, and reshaped how they view education. Rather than revisiting every episode, they identify five recurring themes that connected discussions with researchers, school leaders, and classroom practitioners throughout the season.
From the role of AI and assessment to teacher well-being, student identity, belonging, and the importance of keeping humanity at the heart of education, this reflective conversation explores the ideas that continue to resonate long after the microphones were turned off. Whether you’ve listened to every episode or are discovering IB Unplugged for the first time, this episode offers a thoughtful synthesis of the conversations shaping the future of IB education.
