IB Assessment Walker Middle Magnet
IB Assessment • Starting in the 2nd quarter, you will see an additional grade for each subject. This means there will be 8 additional grades indicated by a number. 7
IB Grading • This number will represent your IB Grade for the 1st semester (1st half of the year) this school year.
IB assignments • Throughout the school year, some of the assignments you complete will count toward your IB grade. • Your teacher will let you know which assignments these are.
What kind of assignments? • An assignment for which you can earn an IB grade won’t be a multiple choice test. • It will be something you create or present or a task you will complete. • Some examples are: a speech, a PowerPoint, an essay description or to create a model or a poster.
Rubrics • IB assignments will always have a corresponding rubric to help you know exactly what you need to do to earn the highest grade. • Depending on the class, you will have the opportunity to earn a certain score on those specific assignments. (For example: a 5 or a 7.)
Final IB grade • Your teacher will then use a formula to come up with a grade between a one and a seven no matter what subject it is. • This is the grade that you will see on your report card.
Let’s look at an example: • You might have a unit question in humanities that is “How can one person make a difference in society?” • For the entire unit, you will learn about different societies and how people can make a difference.
Assignment • After the unit, your teacher might give you an assignment to create a PowerPoint about a leader in history who has influenced society. • Note: IB Assignments are probably a lot like assignments you normally do in class anyways.
This might be what your rubric would look like for one criterion:
After you receive your grade… • After you are tested on all the criterion for humanities, your teacher would use an IB formula to determine a final, overall, IB grade for humanities. • This number would be between a 1 and a 7. • This process will repeat in the 2nd semester (2nd half of the school year).
