1. Objective:
To develop a general understanding of the IB diploma requirements, what an IB candidate looks like, what courses will be offered at Campus and to address any questions about the program.

2. What is the International Baccalaureate Program?

3. The History of IB
Started in 1965 to ensure children of parents in highly mobile professions received common education recognized across geographic boundaries.
Evolved to providing rigorous curriculum to students interested in a global perspective on education.
Provides students from varying cultural, economic, and societal backgrounds with knowledge, critical thinking skills and an international awareness within the context of personalized studies.

4. The Mission The International Baccalaureate
Organization aims to develop
inquiring, knowledgeable, and
caring young people who help
to create a better and more
peaceful world through
intercultural understanding
and respect. The program
encourages students across
the world to become active
compassionate and lifelong
learners who understand that
other people with their
differences can also be right.

5. OVERVIEW OF THE CAMPUS HIGH SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM
The IB classes at CHS will be offered during the junior and senior years. There are selected prep classes that we recommend 9th and 10th graders take in preparation for entering the program as juniors.
We plan to have open access for students interested in our IB program. The only requirements will be based on curriculum. For example, it is recommended that students be in Spanish 3 by junior year to participate in IB and students must have completed at least Pre-Calculus in math by junior year to participate in Math SL.
-Generally, our recommendation is to take as many honors classes as feasible as 9th and 10th graders
-Students should attempt to earn as many graduation requirements as possible before junior year.

6. Diploma Requirements
Students must take a minimum of three higher level (HL) and three standard level (SL) courses – all HL classes are two year courses, some SL classes will be taught over two years.
Students must enroll in one course from groups 1-5, and a 6th subject from either group 6 or any other group

Tina Foster

16. IB Spanish Designed for second language learners
Prepares students to use the language appropriately in a range of situations and contexts and for a variety of purposes
Allows students to develop an awareness and appreciation of the culture(s) of the countries in which the target language is spoken.

17. Difference between regular Spanish classes and IB Spanish
IB Spanish is a much more intensive study of the language
IB classes generally require preparation of papers, oral presentations, and written exams in the target language

18. Spanish I.B. program offers a wealth of benefits to the students
It enhances the lingual fluency of the student by training him/her and preparing him/her for comprehensive study and analysis of the contemporary world utilizing history and literature as the basis of the task. 
Bilingualism is a notable, professional asset in national and international markets. 

19. I.B. Spanish students historically test out of many hours of foreign language requirements saving hundreds of dollars in collegiate expenses and reducing graduation requirements. 
Equally important is the cultural awareness and appreciation of other countries and people so crucial to global understanding and harmony.

IB- Business and Management

26. Overview
The curriculum model for Diploma Programme business and management is a core curriculum for higher level (HL) and standard level (SL) consisting of five topics with common content and learning outcomes. In addition to the core, HL students are expected to complete extension areas of study, in all five topics. HL students also study one extension topic listed below as topic 6, business strategy.

27. HL and SL core Topic 1: Business organization and environment
Topic 2: Human resources
Topic 3: Accounts and finance
Topic 4: Marketing
Topic 5: Operations management

28. HL only Topic 6: Business strategy
The business strategy topic is intended to provide a framework and overview for the students to think in an integrated way about the future strategy of a business or businesses. The purpose of the business strategy topic is not to add extra content to the business and management course, but to collect together business ideas, concepts and techniques, which will develop the skills that allow an informed decision to be made about the future direction of an organization. The type of thinking encouraged by this approach will provide a bridge between the Diploma Programme business and management course and higher education or employment.

49. Because …
The Arts are practiced and valued in our complex and diverse society as important outlets for the communication of ideas, feelings and beliefs and as a major source of intellectual, physical, spiritual, and emotional development, understanding and enjoyment.

50. Through an arts program students:
Develop their intellectual, imaginative and expressive potential.
Develop skills, techniques and a knowledge of processes as a basis for personal expression
Create, perform or present arts works
Develop critical skills and an understanding of aesthetics
Develop an understanding of how the arts evolve within particular social, cultural and historical contexts
Enjoy participating in the processes of creating, presenting and responding to the arts.

51. IB Visual Arts is divided into two areas
Product:
Students seem to gain most satisfaction by completing products of quality. Not only do they see quality in terms of their own expectations but also in the responses of their teacher, other students and their parents. Students who do not receive positive feedback on their work seldom continue with art beyond the compulsory years.
Process:
An important process which is developed in art activities is creative problem solving.
Whenever students are engaged in art making activities, they are confronted by enormous
Challenges and problems. They practice making decisions after first thinking and researching
About the various solutions available.

52. Option A
Designed for student who wishes to concentrate on studio practice. Investigation workbooks (IWB) will support, inform, develop and refine studio work through sustained contextual, visual and critical investigation.
Studio Product is 60%
IWB 40%

53. Option B
Research orientated, designed for students who wish to concentrate on contextual, visual and critical investigation. IWB’s are used to fully integrate a range of ideas and produce studio work based on their visual and written investigation. This option is more suitable for a student who has a strong interest in art history and in critical thinking and writing.

62. Diploma Requirements cont.
Standard Level
150 recommended hours
Some exams will be taken during junior year
Higher Level
240 recommended hours
Exams taken during Senior year

63. Unique Features of the IB program
Theory of Knowledge (called TOK)
Challenges students to question the basis of knowledge, to be aware of subjective biases and to develop the ability to analyze evidence that is expressed in rational arguments.
A key element in encouraging students to appreciate other cultural perspectives.
Will be taken as a class during seminar.
Extended Essay Research Assignment
An opportunity to investigate a topic of special interest. The essay requirement acquaints students with the kind of independent research and writing skills expected by universities.
The IBO recommends a student devote a total of about 40 hours of study and writing time for this 4,000 word essay. It may be written in one of 60 subjects, including many languages.
Creativity, Action, and Service
Allows students to participate in community service and action hours, as well as develop an appreciation of creativity. Students complete a minimum of 150 hours (50 in each area) during the junior and senior years

64. Creativity, Action, and Service
  AIMS of CAS—develop students who are: reflective thinkers, willing to accept new challenges and new roles, aware of themselves as a responsible member of communities, active participants in collaborative projects, balanced in involvement in intellectual, physical,  creative and emotional experiences.
CAS will require the equivalency of about ½ day per school week (3-4 hours) or approximately 150 hours, about 50 in each area of Creativity, Action, Service.  It’s not more of the same—it must meet the learning outcomes.  Example—regular practice for football doesn’t count, but mentoring with younger athletes or learning a new position would. Playing in the marching band might qualify for some CAS hours, but working with Ms. Hughes and section leaders to plan and implement a routine definitely would meet the learner outcomes.  One has to set a GOAL and reflect on the process and outcomes of the activity. 

65. CAS cont.
Learning Outcomes: At the completion of the CAS experience, students will have evidence to show
a.  increased awareness of own strengths and areas for growth
b.  undertaken new challenges
c.  planned and initiated activities
d.  worked collaboratively with others
e.  shown perseverance and commitment in their activities
f.  engaged with issues of global importance
