The Semester is moving along, please see the tab above, “Semester Information” to stay up to date on exams dates, changes to the 7,8 exams from last year (they will not have any), and important dates for Report Writing.
Also, HODs will be working with departments to gather examples of Assessments in the MYP and Assessments and Units in the DP. Please talk to your HOD if you have questions. This was introduced at the last HOD meeting.
There is a new tab above, “Building Quality Curriculum”. This chronicles the units and overviews the feedback for the three BQC submissions we have done.
Below is information about our discussions on assessment over the past month, Extended Essay important dates, the Personal Project including important dates, and Service and Action in the MYP.
Assessment
Providing Feedback
Graded summative assessments should be on ManageBac in 10 business days
Results should include feedback: the purpose, the result, how to improve
Remember to click the “Email” button on MB to share the results and feedback with parents
Learning Continuums and helping students complete work
- · plan summative and formative assessments
- Use formative assessments as opportunities to provide teacher feedback, peer assessment and self-assessment
- Assign longer assessment project in “stages”, gathering work as you go.
- Use these stages and formative assessment to build learning continuums throughout a unit
- With these learning continuums there should be minimal instances where a student has produced no work by the end of a unit.
- The current late policy is that students may ask for a one day extension once a semester.
- After that, the learning continuum is graded

"What is ONE way you bring the vision and mission to life in this school?”
ReplyDeleteI engineer situations in Tutor Group/Advisory and in my classes where students can take the lead: acting out scenes from Shakespeare, leading discussions and games, presenting research, weighing in on decision-making for term timelines and daily routines (e.g., my Yr 11 Language & Lit class has decided by consensus to spend 5 minutes at the start of two classes per week doing mindfulness meditation). Having frequent opportunities to take the lead enables students to decide how and when to demonstrate and sharpen their strengths as team members and leaders, to apply creative problem solving skills, to communicate more thoughtfully, and to consider others’ perspectives and needs.

ReplyDeleteIn Design class, students learn to become creative problem solver. They can start with simple problems that they can identify in daily life or problems that might occur in the future. Students use design cycle as a structured way to solve the problems and to evaluate on their solution. In design, students not only learn to use technology to identify, research and solve the problems, they also learn to use hands on materials as a tool to create the solution. Equipped with skills to solving problems, adapting, evaluating, complex thinking, communication, creativity & innovation, leadership and collaboration will make the students ready for 21st century. (Irwan Nugroho-Design Teacher)
ReplyDeleteIn 2D & 3D Animation Design Entrepreneur, students learn to become risk taker and creative thinker. They looked into some past animation in A, B and C Grades, allowing them to look deeper on how to bring unpopular character to beats the demand in today context, adapting some good example, making business proposal and planning and also looked into how to packaging the characters in more selling value at the end.
ReplyDeleteI bring the schools vision and mission by enhancing the development of second language. At the same tine when student studied for 2nd or 3rd languages I asked the to compare it with their mother toungue, in that way they have a new perapective of how to improve understanding of their mother tongue.
ReplyDeleteThe activities in the language acquisiton classes also encourage students to be a risk taker. I usualy conduct a role play and also game plays such as charades, chinese whisper, treasure hunt in a 2nd language encourage the student to practice their communication skills, be it with their peers or with another teacher.
Lastly is the culture part of learning another language. I feel that students who continue studying other languages than their mother tongue have a deeper understanding of what their culture is, because they will start to compare the language culture and their own culture. That way it also enrich the students way of thinking.
