Studies in language and literature First teaching 2019 and first assessment 2021 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 © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
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. © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
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. © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
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
© 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.

TOK: Internal Assessment • There will be a new internal assessment task to replace the current oral presentation and moderation process (through moderation of the Presentation Planning Document) • Curation of a “TOK exhibition” • Students will select a high level knowledge question from a list of 35 “IA prompts” and then curate an exhibition of real world objects that show how this TOK question manifests in the world • They will submit a single file containing the images of their 3 objects and their accompanying commentaries/ justifications to be moderated © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
DP music –first teaching 2020 • Practical course in which musical competences and music making processes are featured • The course allows teachers and students of all backgrounds to engage with DP music in a meaningful way. • Space for creativity and individual student development. • An integrated curriculum: • development of musical competences across components • greater relevance: theory applied and evidenced in practical work • clear progression of learning The new core curriculum areas for DP music are: Contemporary Exploring music Experimenting Presenting music making in context with music music (HL only) © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
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. © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
2) New Programme Standards & Practices - Practice
Programme Standards and Practices © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
Let’s try to create motifs! © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017 Photo by Anastasiia Tarasova on Unsplash
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. © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
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- 01 programmes. They must be 0203 arranged across four parts: 0202- 0101- conditions, who, how, and why. All 03 03 motifs are accompanied by an 0401- 0402 explanation of how the practices 02 0301- are used by the school to achieve 06 the area of focus. 0403 Schools can use motifs to develop and explain their implementation, and by extension to inform their teacher rights and responsibilities action plans. © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
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. © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017

2) IB Evaluation Guidelines
Three questions to think about… © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017 Photo by Fabrizio Verrecchia on Unsplash
Question 1: Are We Really International-Minded? © International Baccalaureate Organization 2016 5/7/2019 67 International Baccalaureate® | Baccalauréat International® | Bachillerato Internacional®
What is International Mindedness? Appreciate different Multilingualism beliefs, values Intercultural and understanding experiences and respect Meaningful Think and service with collaborate the across cultures Reflection on community and disciplines perspective, Engagement, culture and action and identities of bringing about Inquiry self and meaningful into local others change Global and global engagement issues and ideas What is an IB education (May 2017) © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
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. The International Mindedness Journey: School Practices for Developing and Assessing International Mindedness Across the IB Continuum (2016) © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
Learner Profile as International Mindedness in action • 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 Baccalaureate Organization 2017
Learner Profile as International Mindedness in action 21st century international mindedness: An exploratory study of its conceptualisation and Assessment (2013) © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
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? © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
Reflection and next actions In relation to international-mindedness, ask yourself, as a school… How How How do can we well are we improve we know? further? doing? © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
Question 2: What about Student Action ? © International Baccalaureate Organization 2016 5/7/2019 74 International Baccalaureate® | Baccalauréat International® | Bachillerato Internacional®
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”. ‘What is an IB education’ May 2017 © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
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? © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
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. Who has a role to play in IB Standards and practices Opportunities in the programmes to develop this practice supporting students’ learning in this area A5 Structured service learning programme The school promotes responsible Partnerships with community groups, businesses action within and beyond the school community © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
Strategy 2: 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. Practice Indicators the practice is Indicators of developed practice Indicators the practice is highly developing (in place) developed (strong evidence) (weak or inconsistent evidence) A5 Programmes of inquiry positive impact on the community The school promotes responsible Units of inquiry from the actions the school action within and beyond the promotes and sustains school community Exhibition / PP, Community P, authentic connections between CAS EE ? what they learn in the classroom and what they encounter in the community service offers opportunities to apply concepts, skills and knowledge Actions are modelled by adults in the school community and followed trough at home Actions allow students to use their skills, interests and talents © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
Reflect & QA from this focus session In the area of Student Action you just focused on, ask yourself, as a school… How can How we How do well are improve we we further? know? doing? © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
Question 3: What evidence is needed? © International Baccalaureate Organization 2016 5/7/2019 82 International Baccalaureate® | Baccalauréat International® | Bachillerato Internacional®
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) © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
Evidence for standard C Standards Possible Evidence C1 – Collaborative ● Meeting schedules with objectives, agendas and/ or planning minutes, attendance list ● Evidence of both vertical and horizontal articulation ● Review of digital platforms used for virtual collaboration amongst teachers C2 – Written ● Sample documentation identifying in detail what is to be curriculum taught, such as planners, units, outlines, lesson plans and syllabuses. C3 – Teaching and ● Sample unit planners, displays, reflections, portfolios, learning CAS portfolios ● Evidence from lesson visits ● Student surveys on teaching and learning C4 - Assessment ● Examples of formative and summative assessment ● Analysis of exam results ● Assessment policy and its implementation © International Baccalaureate Organization 2017
