IB Unit Plan – Information and Resources

Thank you to everyone who attended sessions during Saturday’s PD. I just wanted to remind everyone of the minimum requirements and provide links to resources for unit planning.

By the end of this academic year, we need one unit in Year 1 and one unit for Year 2 of all courses. If there is more than one teacher in a course, please decide amongst yourselves who will do which units/years.
By December 2019, all units for both years of the course need to be fully documented in Managebac.
Please find details for the requirements for units, resources, and guides for using MB in this folder.
If you need technical support with MB, please see Erica.
If you have questions about unit content/IB expectations, please see Cassie.
