The new studies in language and literature courses
will achieve greater alignment across the courses:

• Seven central concepts

• Syllabus organization in three areas of exploration

• Common course aims and assessment objectives

• Shared assessment components between Lit and
  Lang and lit

What’s changing?
• Maximum number of assessment components for SL= three;
  maximum number of assessment components for HL= four.

• No unmoderated work may be counted for final grades.

• Emphasis on conceptual understanding.

• Greater consistency between Language A: language and
  literature and Language A: literature.

• Active incorporation of international-mindedness .

• Greater profile for the Core and ATL in Studies in language
  and literature.

3 key distinctions in relation to
   assessment
• The Internal Assessment will consist of an individual oral in
  which students explore two texts in relation to a common
  global issue.

• Paper 1 and Paper 2 will assess the same skills as the
  present papers do, but with some variations as regards
  format.

• HL courses will have a fourth component called the HL
  essay.

The NEW DP mathematics subjects
Mathematics: analysis and approaches (HL and SL)

This course recognizes the need for analytical expertise in a world where innovation is increasingly dependent on a
deep understanding of mathematics. This course includes topics that are both traditionally part of a pre-university
mathematics course (for example, functions, trigonometry, calculus) as well as topics that are amenable to
investigation, conjecture and proof, for instance the study of sequences and series at both SL and HL, and proof by
induction at HL.

The course allows the use of technology, as fluency in relevant mathematical software and hand-held technology
is important regardless of choice of course. However, Mathematics: analysis and approaches has a strong
emphasis on the ability to construct, communicate and justify correct mathematical arguments.

Mathematics: applications and interpretation (HL and SL)

This course recognizes the increasing role that mathematics and technology play in a diverse range of fields in a
data-rich world. As such, it emphasizes the meaning of mathematics in context by focusing on topics that are often
used as applications or in mathematical modelling. To give this understanding a firm base, this course also
includes topics that are traditionally part of a pre-university mathematics course such as calculus and statistics.

The course makes extensive use of technology to allow students to explore and construct mathematical models.
Mathematics: applications and interpretation will develop mathematical thinking, often in the context of a practical
problem and using technology to justify conjectures.

© International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
Key distinctions of the new subjects
1) Each subject will be available at SL and HL, with the SL course being a
complete subset of the HL course.

2) There will be approximately 60 hours allocated to common SL material across
both subjects.

3) 30 hours will be allocated to the development of investigational and problem
solving skills, collaboration, modelling skills, and completion of the internal
assessment (IA) component. This is called the “toolkit”.

4) The IA is an independent exploration of an area of mathematics chosen by
the student. It is internally assessed by the teacher and externally moderated
by the IB, contributing 20% to the overall level.

5) HL 3 Paper will be a 1 hour problem-solving/sustained reasoning paper –
two scaffolded problems, beginning with a syllabus item and building to either
a generalization or an interpretation of the problem. (TSM video available)

The Arts
 Seeking alignment in The Arts
• A stronger balance between practical work and
  theory.
• Relevant SL and HL differentiation in all arts subjects.
• Teacher-friendly subject guides with stronger links
  between taught content and final assessment tasks.
• More detailed teacher support materials,
  incorporating approaches to teaching and learning in
  the arts.

Let’s try to create motifs!

But what is a motif exactly?
• The Programme Standards & Practices are now
  organised into themes («motifs») that reflect daily
  life and culture in the school.
• Schools have the flexibility to combine different
  practices to express those themes, or to create their
  own themes based on their school context.
• Motif-based development will allow schools to
  better express how the programme Standards &
  Practices will look in their schools.

What is a motif?
A motif is a group of practices that
have been arranged around an
area of focus in a school’s
implementation of IB                                                 0101-

Schools can use motifs to develop
and explain their implementation,
and by extension to inform their       teacher rights and responsibilities
action plans.

How to build a motif
A motif is comprised of 4-8 practices.
A motif must use at least two colours, or areas of
the framework (Purpose, Environment, Culture or
Learning) to be valid.                                                                    Set
                                                                                       conditions

1. Choose an area of focus for the motif.
2. Choose 1 or 2 practices or 1 standard that set
the conditions for the motif to be implemented.                     Choose                             Choose
3. Choose 1-2 practices to show who is                               who                                why
responsible in the motif.
4. Choose 1-3 practices or 1 standard that explain
how the motif will be achieved and evidenced.
                                                                                          Choose
5. Choose 1-2 practices or 1 standard that                                                 how
indicate why the motif has been made. The why
of a motif can be a goal, an outcome, or a reason
the for the practices being grouped together.

What is International Mindedness?
  • International Mindedness is relational in that it is
    about reaching out to how we perceive and interact
    with others from diverse cultures.
  • It then becomes intra-personal or reaches in to better
    understand ourselves with respect to different others.
  • Above all, International Mindedness is a process or a
    journey … that … is more important than any fixed
    definition.

      Assessing International Mindedness Across the IB Continuum (2016)

     • the IB Learner Profile can be considered a map
       of a lifelong journey in pursuit of international-
       mindedness’ (Rizvi et al, 2014 p.7).

           Discuss with your neighbours:

 What evidence can we find that a school develops
 the learner profile in its pursuit of international-
                    mindedness?

         • Consider different stakeholders

International Mindedness in the Standards and
 Practices
• To what extent does the school:
  • Integrate the learner profile attributes in teacher appraisals, policies,
    classroom activities?
  • Offer opportunities to deconstruct the meaning of international-mindedness?
  • Employ a range of strategies to develop and promote international-
    mindedness and all attributes of the learner profile?
  • Collaboratively develop expectations for the progression of learner profile
    attributes over the years of the programme ?
  • Collaboratively develop shared agreements of teacher responsibilities for
    language development of language of instruction and multilingualism?
  • Integrate learning experiences that promote students’ awareness of
    individual, local, national and world issues?
  • Provide for cross subject events that facilitate reflection on multiple
    perspective and international-mindedness (e.g. project weeks, assemblies,
    simulations)?
  • Have systems to track integration of Learner Profile development in
    classroom practice and community life?

In relation to international-mindedness, ask
yourself, as a school…

Question 2: What about
   Student Action ?

Student action

All the IB programmes aim to:

•   Develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young
    people who help to create a better and more peaceful
    world through intercultural understanding and
    respect
•   Provide students with knowledge (disciplines), skills
    (ATL), dispositions (Learner Profile attributes)

                                © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
“Each of the IB programmes reflects a
central desire to provide an education that
enables students to make sense of the
complexities of the world around them, as
well as equipping them with the skills and
dispositions needed for taking responsible
action for the future. They provide an
education that crosses disciplinary, cultural,
national and geographical boundaries, and
that champions critical engagement,
stimulating      ideas     and       effective
relationships”.

Action and Service

             © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
Taking action requires students to reflect upon:

          • Does my learning have an impact on the
 How
does it     world around me?
affect
  our
evalu-
ation ?   • Have I created a positive response to a need
            or an issue in my personal, local or global
            sphere?

Strategy 1:
Identify opportunities in the programmes to develop this
practice and who has a role to play in supporting
students’ learning in this area

Principle:
An IB education enables students to make sense of the complexities of the world around them, and equips them with the skills and
dispositions needed for taking responsible action for the future.

Use a matrix to audit where the school is in
developing this practice, against a set of indicators.
 Principle: An IB education enables students to make sense of the complexities of the world around them, and equips them with the skills and
 dispositions needed for taking responsible action for the future.

What evidence to submit to the IB?
• A realistic picture of practice in the school
• A judicious selection of the documents which best
  evidence a particular practice
• Focus on quality to provide insight not quantity
• No links to online platforms (Moodle website etc.)
• Additional documents: Word, PDF etc.
• clearly named to link to the standard/ practice
  (consider zip files for multiple files)
