Hi! My name is Morgan and I teach in Minneapolis. This is my first year as an IB coordinator in a school that is currently applying for candidacy. I'm excited to dig into how to get IB rolling at my school. I live just outside of Minneapolis with my husband and 2 kids - Eli, a 5th grader and Cora, a 3rd grader. My family is spread out all over the country, so we spend most of our travel budget on trips to Montana, South Carolina, Vermont, Chicago and Chicago.

Hi everyone! My name is Kelsey Lewis and I am thrilled to be facilitating this workshop and learning with all of you. :) I live in Toronto and I am a PhD student in the Educational Leadership and Policy department at the Ontario Institute for Studies at the University of Toronto. I am currently researching the impact of COVID on schooling and how school leaders can support the mental health of teachers. I support the IB as a workshop leader, visiting team member, IB field representative, content developer and curriculum reviewer. I began my teaching career in Ontario 20 years ago where I spent the first two years teaching multiple grade levels in both a homeroom and support capacity. I was PYP coordinator at the American School of Bilbao in Spain and previous to that the Director of Curriculum at The York School in Canada. Before taking on a curriculum coordinator role I taught internationally at the Western Academy of Beijing, the International School of Düsseldorf and the International School of Bremen in Germany. In 2018 I returned to Canada after my last post as principal at Hanoi International School in Vietnam. On a personal note, I am mom to six little go-getters. I look forward to connecting with all of you! Warmly, Kelsey
