Don’t Forget to Fill out the G2 Survey on OCC

After waiting 24 hours, I have (or will have) provided to you the May 2017 exam for your course. Review the exams and go to your subject section complete the G2 survey on OCC (found on the left column of options).

Year 1 IB Predicted Grades

As has been discussed since the beginning of the school year, providing a justifiable benchmark for IB Year 1 students at the end of their junior year is important for all stakeholders. All Year 1 IB teachers will need to provide their Year 1 IB students with a Predictive Score (1-7) in PowerSchool by the end of the grading period.

The better understand the why of this change toward better alignment with IB philosophy and expectations, see this presentation.

Kognity Survey is forthcoming

Some students have reported to me about how much they appreciated Kognity and how well it prepared them for the IB Exams. A survey will be forthcoming to determine if this is a resource that the HS will implement for all the IB courses that Kognity offers.
