2018 Subject Component Upload Requirements
IBIS eCoursework closed on March 15th for EE, TOK Group 1/Group 2. 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:

You MUST be logged into My IB to access this page.
Choose the eCoursework HL/SL option and you will notice that a new tab opens. Depending on your course, you will see what IA pieces are required and available for upload. HERE IS THE LIST OF 2018 SUBJECT COMPONENT UPLOAD REQUIREMENTS. You will see the list of students and the available option(s) in eCoursework. You can either upload from your computer or you can upload from Google Drive. If you have issues with IBIS options, you will see this on your IBIS Home page:
Use the Predicted grade, Internal assessment and eCoursework tabs below the yellow bar to access options for entering Predicted grades, Internal Assessment marks and for uploading and submitting candidate coursework. For further guidance on these processes, please read the documents below.

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.
Once I confirm all the IAs/PGs, IBIS will run a sample that I will check with you. If the sample is a fair sample, then I will confirm. IBIS will then allow the input of component scores and teacher comments. eCoursework will take longer, but will open to allow the upload of those specific student pieces of work.
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. Students have all signed an 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

Grade 10 students had a presentation and the G11 had the presentation shared with them. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pjU_FQdOIkzBleO5q8cVKLBZTfWaLE8mODHc84f1f4w
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.
Grade 10 students were informed of WSC this week. I will be making a presentation to the G11 students in March 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.
