  1. The IB Learner profile IB Schools of North Carolina Round Table Discussions Parkland High School Winston-Salem, NC November 11, 2009

  2. Who we are • Name and position • School • Level (PYP, MYP, DP) • Nature of the program on your campus (school within a school? Magnet? Full campus IB program, etc)

  3. Pre-Assessment! • Take into consideration the “other” two programs represented in the room (PYP, MYP, DP). • Make an educated guess as to a curriculum similarity found in all of the programs (not counting the IB learner profile!). • Make an assumption about something unique as it pertains to your program’s curriculum structure.

  4. What the experts say … • “What is perhaps most notable about our findings is the degree to which IB standards were found to be related to the kinds of key cognitive strategies that our previous research points to as being so important for success in colleges and universities,” • -- David Conley, CEO of the Educational Policy Improvement Center, in a study released 2009.

  5. What the experts say … • “We have learned that it’s not enough for students to study content in isolation; they must use their content knowledge to solve problems, make conjectures and inferences, and think deeply about the big questions of the disciplines. The IB standards seem to be particularly well suited to achieving these aims.” • -- Conley

  6. What the experts say … • “For many years I have been an IB fan. It has taken seriously more of the issues in the world of today (and tomorrow), and has been less influenced by fads, and the test-taking obsessions of ministers of education, than any organization of its size. The development of separate programs for the early and middle years is also meritorious and I applaud the inclusion of the arts as subjects worthy of serious study. “ • – Howard Gardner, from an interview w/ IB World Magazine, 2007.

  7. The roots of IB success? • The key question we must ask … Is the success of IB graduates a product of viable curriculum or high achieving students? Or, is it both? Neither?

  12. Another preassessment! • Complete the following statements: • “I think my program does a great job developing the IB learner trait of …” • “I think my program has a deficiency in terms of building the IB learner trait of …” • “The one area I wish my school as a whole would focus on more would be …” • “The one area I feel my school, regardless of IB, does a good job promoting is …”
