IB Update – December 3-7

IB DEADLINES

**Given the recent situation with the EE deadline, I am looking to develop a consistent system for dealing with missed deadlines for both first and final submissions that is not seen as an extension but guarantees a complete submission for all students. If you have suggestions for what you’ve seen work well in the past, please share them with me.

At this time, for missed first submissions I am considering pulling students in before school (starting at 6:45am), during lunch, and after school the day after a missed deadline. Whatever they have completed by 4:15pm on that day is submitted before they leave the “gulag” session with me. For missed final submissions, the first submission will be taken as their final submission. Please share your thoughts and suggestions on this plan.***

UPCOMING GRADE 12 DEADLINES:

• December 3 – Visual Arts Mock Exhibition
• Week of December 3 – English Lit IOC and English L&L FOAs

UPCOMING GRADE 11 DEADLINES:

• December 3 – Economics IA #1 First Submission

STORAGE OF FINAL SUBMISSION DOCUMENTS

Once your students have submitted their final versions of IAs or you have recorded their IOC/orals, please place a copy of the assessment and any required form or extracts in the appropriate folder within the IB Work for Upload Drive. Please save the documents with the following naming protocol: StudentsLastName_FirstName_Assessment_Level (Sample: Armstrong_Cassie_HistoryIA_SL, Stoltz_Chris_MathIA_SL).

IB STATISTICAL BULLETIN

The May 2018 IB Statistical Bulletin has been released! It is always an interesting read for all of your (hours) of free time ?

USEFUL DOCUMENTS/LINKS:

All documents are in the IBDP Teacher Resources shared drive.

• Candidate personal codes (for use on forms for IA submissions)
  • Work should remain anonymous, so please follow these guidelines:
    • Schools may use the candidate’s personal code (abc123) as a means of identifying candidates’ work on coursework and forms submitted to the IB. However, this information is not a requirement.
    • Candidates are asked to avoid using their name, session number or the name or number of their school in their work, whether on the title page, headers, footers or anywhere else on the document. 
    • Candidate names or session numbers can be used in the document filenames only.
• May 2019 Forms
  • Please ensure you are using the most up-to-date form for your subject. Outdated forms will be rejected by the eCoursework system and will have to be redone.
  • You’ll need to be logged into your MyIB account to access these forms.
