Objective:

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

7. Areas of instruction • Group 1- World Literature • English (HL only) • Lisa Wehkamp and Ryan Painter

8. Lisa Wehkamp Ryan Painter IB Language AHigher Level

9. IB Literature A • Book List • All four genres must be represented • Drama, Prose, Non-Fiction, Poetry • Selections must come from 3 different periods (centuries) • Male and Female authors must be represented • Three places must be represented

10. IB Literature A • Typical arrangement of the 4-semester class: • Part 4: Free Choice • Part 1: Works in Translation • Part 2: Detailed Study • Part 3: Literary Genres • Part 2 and 3 include the most taxing assignments and are therefore pushed to the senior year.

11. IB Literature A • Part 1: Works in Translation (3) • Selections must come from the Prescribed Literature in Translation list • Interactive Oral Presentation • Students lead a 30-minute class discussion over a poem, chapter, historical/cultural context, etc. • Every student then writes a 300-400 word reflection based upon what they learned in the IOP • One of these reflections then becomes the basis of a 1200-1500 word essay • Written Assignment with reflection • Completed Internally • Graded Externally

12. IB Literature A • Part 2: Detailed Study (3) • Works chosen from the Prescribed List of Authors • One work must be Poetry • 15-20 poems from the same author • Individual Oral commentary • 20 minute oral exam • 10 minutes for poetry • 10 minutes for one of the other two texts read in class

13. IB Literature A • Part 3: Literary Genres (4) • 4 works from the same genre (from PLA) • Drama, Prose, Non-Fiction, Poetry • Paper 2 Exam: Comparative Essay 2 Hours • 1250-1750 words long (comparing literary techniques between two texts i.e. voice, themes, symbols, etc) • Cannot use notes or text in writing the in-class paper

14. IB Literature A • Part 4: Free Choice (3) • Works of Literary merit are chosen • Individual Oral Presentation • Students choose text and style of presentation • Students are encouraged to be creative

15. Areas of instruction cont. • Group 2: World Languages • Spanish (SL only) • 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. 

20. Areas of instruction cont. • Group 3: Individuals and societies • History of the Americas (HL only) • Jim Stenholm and Casey Meier • Business and Management (SL and HL) • Zach Kliewer

25. ZacKliewer 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.
