Now you can study for your IB Diploma in London with the Geneva-based International Baccalaureate recognising London school International Community School for delivering the prestigious diploma from September this year

IB Diploma, Truly Global!

“I was very insistent that my children have a truly global education. That is why we decided against sending them to the local public school in York, though it is well-known for providing education of fairly good standards. But I wanted my children to have school diplomas that are head and shoulders above the rest”, says Peggy Thornton, a proud mother whose son is preparing to begin his IB Diploma next term. British parents are increasingly ensuring that their children reap the benefits of a quality private education. “But there is a new category of emerging parents who are globe-trotters themselves. So they want to ensure that if they have to get their children to move around with them, they should be in an education system which is offered in more countries. I think this has been a crucial factor in the popularity of the International Baccalaureate course”, says Rosie Harrow, a Surrey school administrator.

The International Baccalaureate organisation works out of Geneva and has an evolved curriculum that draws from the best practises of educational systems across the world. The course is structured in such a manner that every student passing the IB Diploma course is better prepared than students from other systems for the more challenging academic demands of the University. In fact, there are three IB courses that cater to students between the age group of 3 and 19, ensuring a holistic academic experience through their formative years. An international school London has to offer ensures that the student also gets a taste of metropolitan way of life. Besides, more importantly, an IB Diploma Central London ensures that a student aspiring to continue their University education has access to some of the leading London colleges under the University of London.

Henley Business School Reveals HR Paying Lip Service To Coaching

Henley Business School has revealed the results of its Corporate Learning Priorities survey which shows coaching remains high up the list of development priorities for 2010. However, while 61% of respondents said developing a coaching culture was one of their top 5 priorities, only 9% made it their 1st or 2nd priority.

Henley has suggested that this reflects an uncertainty about how to go about creating a coaching culture and concern as to whether the senior team will support the initiative. In addition, a quarter of respondents made ‘developing leadership coaching skills’ their first or second priority.

Dr Patricia Bossons, Director of Coaching Services at Henley Business School, commented: “I am hearing from clients and students alike that coaching has never been more important since it helps maintain clarity and resourcefulness in people driving business recovery. The fact that so many in the survey recognize the importance of coaching yet few appear to make it a high priority may be because coaching is seen as a process, rather than a specific ‘management development‘ area, such as strategic thinking or managing change. It is also still perceived by many to be something that lies in the hands of HR, or external coaches, so coaching skills development can easily be seen as someone else’s responsibility.”

She added: “Coaching can be the ‘oil’ that enables the rest of a management development agenda deliver tangible outcomes and results. A senior strategic leadership programme for example, is going to have much longer lasting impact, and a much greater return on investment, if each individual is supported by an independent coach as they go through their programme. Individuals recognize this, which is why the statistics in the research show leadership coaching skills development as a high priority.”
