In January 2019 I began my NPQSL. I completed the project at an international school in China where I was IBDP Coordinator and been in post since the previous September. I completed the project through UCL IOE’s beijing cluster. While researching my project I could find no other examples of projects completed with the IBDP curriculum and so I share this here (for free!) in order to support any other colleagues who may find themselves in the same situation. I got a passing (just) score of 20/28 and have also included my assessor feedback. I am happy I passed. Perhaps my score would have been higher if I wasn’t trying to complete the course whilst dealing with an international move and all its adjustments to working and family life! I hope you find it useful. If you do please pop back and leave a review! :)
