Success in school is closely related to personal, social, and emotional well-being. This challenging framework is designed for the critical period in development between the ages of 11 to 16. At a time when students are establishing their identity and building their self-esteem, the MYP can motivate students and help them achieve success in school and in life beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n
The Programme also encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world. This is done by empowering them to inquire about various issues and global ideas. The result is creative and reflective thinking.<\/p>\n
Units begin with engaging questions such as: How do I learn best? Why do I have to learn this? What is the long-term impact?<\/em> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”classroom” _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_4,1_4″ use_custom_gutter=”on” _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n International Baccalaureate students learn and engage in critical thinking by doing and experiencing. Subjects are not taught in isolation. Students are encouraged to make connections between subjects and not just memorize facts. This allows for a deeper understanding of the material.<\/p>\n Students in this program learn how to manage their own learning. They will organize and plan their work, meet deadlines, persist, and think positively. These valuable tools will continue to serve them beyond their academic career.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/web.dusd.net\/sussman\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2022\/12\/MYP-Model-Wheel.png” alt=”MYP Model Wheel” title_text=”MYP Model Wheel” _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_toggle title=”Student Centered” open_toggle_text_color=”#009705″ open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_color=”#009705″ toggle_icon=”3||divi||400″ open_icon_color=”#CECECE” open_toggle_icon=”2||divi||400″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”24px” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#009705″ title_level=”h3″ title_font=”|600|||||||” custom_padding=”||10px|0px|false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#CECECE” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Students are taught and encouraged to take ownership of their learning.<\/p>\n Students are given the opportunity to speak in front of others.<\/p>\n Students learn a second language, allowing them to engage with others in the increasingly global society.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Grading with a Rubric” open_toggle_text_color=”#009705″ open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_color=”#009705″ toggle_icon=”3||divi||400″ open_icon_color=”#CECECE” open_toggle_icon=”2||divi||400″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”24px” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#009705″ title_level=”h3″ title_font=”|600|||||||” custom_padding=”||10px|0px|false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#CECECE” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The International Baccalaureate (IB) philosophy emphasizes holistic education, promoting not only academic excellence but also personal development, critical thinking, and intercultural understanding. Grading with a rubric aligns well with these goals and serves several important purposes and benefits:<\/p>\n 1. Clarity and Transparency<\/strong>: Rubrics provide clear criteria for assessment, making it transparent what is expected of students. This clarity helps students understand how their work will be evaluated and what they need to achieve to meet or exceed expectations.<\/p>\n 2. Consistency and Fairness<\/strong>: Rubrics ensure that grading is consistent and fair across different students and assignments. By having a standardized set of criteria, all students are judged against the same standards, reducing subjectivity and bias in the grading process.<\/p>\n 3. Guidance and Feedback<\/strong>: Rubrics offer specific feedback on various aspects of student performance, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. This detailed feedback helps students understand their progress and guides their future learning.<\/p>\n 4. Alignment with Learning Objectives<\/strong>: Rubrics are designed to align with the learning objectives of the IB curriculum, ensuring that assessments accurately reflect the skills and knowledge that the program aims to develop.<\/p>\n 1. Enhanced Learning<\/strong>: Students benefit from clear expectations and detailed feedback, which helps them focus their efforts and improve their performance. Rubrics guide students in understanding what high-quality work looks like and how to achieve it.<\/p>\n 2. Student Empowerment<\/strong>: By making the assessment criteria explicit, rubrics empower students to take control of their learning. They can self-assess their work, set goals, and track their progress.<\/p>\n 3. Improved Teaching<\/strong>: For teachers, rubrics provide a structured framework for assessment, making it easier to identify and address student needs. Rubrics can also aid in instructional planning, ensuring that teaching strategies are aligned with assessment criteria.<\/p>\n 4. Reflective Practice<\/strong>: The detailed nature of rubric-based feedback encourages students to engage in reflective practice, critically analyzing their work and learning processes. This reflection is a key component of the IB philosophy, fostering lifelong learning and personal growth.<\/p>\n 5. Skill Development<\/strong>: Rubrics help in developing a range of skills beyond academic content, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and self-assessment. These skills are essential for success in the IB program and beyond.<\/p>\n 6. Parental Involvement<\/strong>: Clear grading criteria make it easier for parents to understand their child’s performance and progress. This transparency can foster better communication between parents, students, and teachers, supporting student learning.<\/p>\n Grading with a rubric in the IB context serves to make assessment criteria transparent and consistent, provides detailed feedback, and aligns with the program’s educational goals. The benefits include enhanced learning, student empowerment, improved teaching, reflective practice, skill development, and increased parental involvement.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Global Learning” open_toggle_text_color=”#009705″ open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_color=”#009705″ toggle_icon=”3||divi||400″ open_icon_color=”#CECECE” open_toggle_icon=”2||divi||400″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”24px” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#009705″ title_level=”h3″ title_font=”|600|||||||” custom_padding=”||10px|0px|false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#CECECE” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The MYP Global Contexts allow students to approach content from a variety of perspectives.<\/p>\n Students observe and discuss significant global events and challenges.<\/p>\n Students are taught to understand and appreciate their culture and traditions while learning about others.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#F6DE0D” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”10px|20px|10px|20px|false|false” border_radii=”on|6px|6px|6px|6px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/64310371″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ custom_margin=”10px||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The IB programme focuses not only on what students learn but how they learn.
