2018 Subject Component Upload Requirements

IBIS eCoursework has opened as of January 15th. HERE IS THE LIST OF IA and IBDP DUE DATES. When you log into your IBIS account (www.ibis.ibo.org), you will notice on the top line of options (Home Predicted Grade Internal Assessment eCoursework). Some teachers have an HL and SL option. If you are logged into your HL section, you will not see your SL students. If you are in the SL section, you will not see your HL students. Be sure that you are on the correct HL/SL option.

Here are all the IBDP Forms and Coversheets:

Choose the eCoursework HL/SL option and you will notice that a new tab opens.

Subject component upload requirements

You will need to be logged into IBIS to be able to access these links. IA Grades – each teacher can upload the student IA scores. Predicted Grades – I will have a paper document for all teachers to fill out and I will upload the PGs.

I am asking teachers to complete the eCoursework IA uploads as was done last year. Verify that all Internal Assessment work is the authentic work of the student. I will have all students sign and IB form authenticating that their work is their own work – but teachers will need to go through TurnItIn and validate with your student. See below….

World Student Conference 2018: Washington D.C., Rotterdam & Hong Kong

http://www.ibo.org/university-admission/ib-world-student-conference/wsc-2018-hong-kong/

The IB World Student Conferences bring together IB Diploma Programme (DP) and IB Career-Related Programme (CP) students from around the world to explore and experience what it means to be globally engaged, and to inspire responsible action for making a better and more peaceful world.

Scholarships are available to students to support the cost of attendance. Interested teachers can also attend as Global Action Team Leaders, Chaperones or Observers. Details can be found in the link above.

I will be making a presentation to the G11 students in January to promote these IB student conferences. Students who attend will benefit greatly as will SSIS developing a tradition of sending young leaders to IB world events.

Educational research and articles 

There is a wealth of research and data available online, which teachers can use to inform their practice. Here’s our pick of the web:
NFER’s research and practitioner guidance covers a large range of topics that are relevant to teachers, including pedagogy, narrowing the gap and leadership across the UK  and also internationally.
The EEF funds and evaluates projects on raising disadvantaged learners’ attainment. The Sutton Trust-EEF Teaching and Learning Toolkit shows you how effective and cost-effective different teaching and learning approaches are at a glance. It is based on over 5,500 studies.
CUREE supports the effective use of educational research to improve practice and policy. It systematically searches for, collates and publishes education research from many organisations.
The NCTL’s online leadership library features research, guidance and tools for early years and school leaders. Topics include succession planning, multi-agency working and leadership models. Free membership gives you access to the library.
Department for Education research from 2010 onwards is available here, while earlier research is available here. Statistics from across government on children and young people are available here.
ERIC is a vast database of educational research, much of which is American. You can search ERIC for free, but you have to pay to access some content.
