  35. IB Five-Year Review • Similar to a WASC Self-Study • Departmental reviews of Program, Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment are complete • Meta-committee review of P.C.I.A. during Dec-Feb • Focus groups to review Philosophy, Leadership and Organization, and Resources and Support. These include students, parents, staff, admin, district personnel and board members (2/19, 3/12, 3/19, 3/26) • Develop Action Plan • Due June 1, 2014

  36. IB and Common Core • IB standards were selected as one of five benchmarks to compare CCSS against • CCSS standards for practice in ELA and Mathematics are strongly aligned with IB. • IB and CCSS focus on college and career readiness, depth of understanding, analysis, and interdisciplinary teaching and learning • IB schools are already well positioned for transition to CCSS • A K-11 Common Core will enhance the IB Program in grades 11 and 12

  37. IB and Common Core • IB Aims are broader than CCSS in that the IB incorporates international-mindedness and the IB Learner Profile • IB Diploma program assessment objectives are very closely reflected in the CCSS practices • Integrated mathematics in all IB Math courses • www.ibo.org/iba/commoncore for further documentation
