CAWS 2024-2025 Events Calendar

CAWS is pleased to present our Calendar of Events for this academic year. In addition to our annual Fall Forum, Spring Seminar and IB Training we are expanding our offerings to include a diverse array of both in-person and virtual opportunities. These events are designed to support best practices and foster innovative collaboration within our community. They will be hosted by global, regional and local IB leaders, CAWS Board Members, IBEN trainers, Orange County Department of Education Coordinator and CAWS vetted vendors.

We are particularly excited to share the news that CAWS has set a remarkable precedent by introducing the Collaboration on Language Acquisition for the Primary Years Program (PYP) roundtable in partnership with the Colorado Association, IBARMS. This event lays the groundwork for broader participation between IB Regional Associations. We look forward to the inclusion of additional IB Associations as we continue to extend invitations to our colleagues from various states.

Invitations for our upcoming events will be sent to your email. Each in-person kinvitation will include details about the event, ensuring you have all the information you need for registration. To join us virtually, we will provide links. Look for these invitations over the coming months and get ready to engage in enriching experiences!

I genuinely look forward to connecting with you both in-person and virtually. Together, let's make this our best year yet, filled with innovation, growth, and shared accomplishments.

Warm regards,

Robin
