IB Environmental Systems and Societies Course Companion (Ib Diploma Programme)

Developed in collaboration with the International Baccalaureate Organization, Oxford's Course Companions provide extra support for students taking IB Diploma Programme courses. They present a whole-course approach with a wide range of resources, and encourage a deep understanding of each subject by making connections to wider issues and providing opportunites for critical thinking. This Course Companion,R presents a lively resource full of case studies, extracts, quotations, statistics and activities to allow students to fully understand complex and controversial issues. It follows an approach that includes the wider aims of the IB through connections to TOK, international-mindedness and the IB learner profile. It has been written by an IB Consultant and Examiner and has been extensively reviewed by teachers, consultants and the IB. With material integrated to include international and historical perspectives, students will be encouraged to think critically and make connections to other subjects and to world issues.
