T H E I B M Y P COORD INATOR ’S HANDBOOK

Being an IB MYP Coordinator means carrying responsibility that consistently outweighs your formal authority. You're the person a science teacher catches in the corridor at 7:40 a.m. about an overdue interdisciplinary unit, the one parents email when four separate criterion levels don't make sense to them, and the person a head of school turns to, visibly anxious, months before an evaluation visit. Yet professional literature has had remarkably little to say to this role directly— until now. The IB MYP Coordinator's Handbook treats coordination as a discipline in its own right, organized around the most decisive — and most daunting — period of any coordinator's tenure: the first hundred days. Across eight structured chapters and two practical appendices, the book walks readers from the day before they officially startthrough day 100: reading the school they're inheriting, building credibility through listening, designing a collaborative planning engine, moving from compliance to genuine curricular coherence, leading teachers withoutformal authority, managing the written curriculum (unit planners and ATL skills), and navigating the five-year authorization and evaluation cycle. Three recurring features make the book usable under real workplace pressure: Coordinator's Note — candid, practice-based guidance on whattends to go wrong and how experienced coordinators handle it. From the Framework — the relevant requirement, drawn directly from official IB documentation, so readers can separate what's mandated from what's merely advisable. First-100-Days Action — a concrete step to take this week, mapped to the relevant phase of the transition.

Every claim aboutthe IB framework is anchored in official IB documentation (the Programme Standards and Practices, MYP: From Principles into Practice, the Guide to School Authorization, and the Programme Evaluation Guide), while every leadership principle draws on established, published scholarship — including Michael Watkins, Heifetz and Linsky, Edgar Schein, Michael Fullan, Bryk and Schneider, Viviane Robinson, John Hattie, and DylanWiliam. Written by Dr. Kompri, an academic and independent researcher based in Jambi, Indonesia, with more than two decades of experience in research and scholarly writing, this handbook is for coordinators newly appointed and for experienced ones seeking to lead better. It's builtto be opened on the hardest morning of your term — and to offer, on the relevant page, something steadying, specific, and usable
