The Four IB
Programme
Models
HOW IB DIFFERS FROM OTHER CURRICULA
Assessments are authentic; they
require imagination and analysis
Grading is ‘internal’ and ‘external’
and ‘moderated’
Assessments are not a single
snapshot
Teaching is inquiry based
Learning choices are student
directed
Courses are fast-paced
‘Whole-student’ oriented
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE IB PROGRAMME
• A broad, skill-based university preparatory education for students in grades 11
and 12.
• A program of choice reflecting student interest and ability.
• A program promoting international awareness and community involvement.
• A program that provides high quality, internationally recognized education.

PLANNING FOR THE THREE OPTIONSIB Course IB Career IB Diploma
Take challenging lower level
courses to better prepare for the
rigor of IB level coursework.
Choose a career track.

Access the DIPLOMA PLANNING
PACKET from
https://skylinehsib.weebly.com/pla

Use planning resources at

ancounselingcenter/academics
Fill out the IBCP Candidate
Agreement by end of February
grade 10. (see SHS IB website)
Make sure you plan to finish
Algebra 2 no later than end of 10th
grade.
Work with your school counselor to
develop a realistic 4 year plan that
leverages prior learning but
balances immediate needs and
future plans beyond high school.
Use SHS CRP process to register for
the following in grade 11:
• Career track year 1 course
• IB Course (1 of 2 minimum)
Make sure you begin a valid world
language pathway by grade 9.
Guidelines here:

ld-language-pathways.html
Sophomores planning on the IB
Diploma should request a meeting
with the IB Diploma Coordinator to
be completed NO LATER THAN end
of February.
MAKING THE BEST CHOICE
• NO ONE OPTION IS INHERENTLY BETTER THAN ANY OTHER. THE ‘BEST’ OPTION IS THE ONE
THAT ALLOWS FOR THE GREATEST POSITIVE PERSONAL GROWTH OF EACH STUDENT (I.E. FIND
THE BEST FIT).
• THE BEST SELECTION APPROACH FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS IS COLLABORATIVE RATHER
THAN DIRECTIVE. STUDENTS WHO ARE PERSONALLY INVESTED ARE MORE LIKELY TO SUCCEED.
• OPTION CHOICES SHOULD ALSO FACTOR IN TIME FOR EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES AND ANY EMPLOYMENT DEMANDS ON THE STUDENT.
• APPROPRIATE CHALLENGE IS AS CONSIDERATE OF THE STUDENT’S SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL WELL-
BEING AS IT IS OF THE STUDENT’S CAPABILITIES. HEALTHY STRESS IS MOTIVATIONAL;
EXCESSIVE STRESS CAN BE TRAUMATIC.

BENEFITS OF IB CLASSES
• Students need to be prepared for the rigor of IB
• Student and teacher vs. IB NOT student vs. teacher
• Time management
• Maintaining a balanced life
CHALLENGES OF IB CLASSES
STUDENTS - KEYS TO SUCCESS
TIME MANAGEMENT
• It is true that strong, consistent effort is needed to succeed in IB classes. This does
NOT mean that classes are impossible, or that they are only for academic
superstars!
ORGANIZATION
• Pay attention to the calendar! Be aware of deadlines and pace yourself to meet
them.
• Use your planner, phone, or other organizational tool to keep track of all
assignments.
KNOW YOUR TARGET
• Study consistently throughout the entire course!
• Know the rubric, and practice using it – ask your teacher what the “IB
language” means on assessment questions and rubrics.
PARENTS - HOW CAN YOU HELP YOUR STUDENT?
• Plan a course sequence early, but stay flexible. Your student may experience changes
in the coming years that dramatically change your path. See later slides and the
Planning Packet on the SHS IB website.
• Get them planning tools and model how you manage your time.
• Be sure they maintain balance in their life: social, school, free time.
• Nutrition and exercise are very important.
• Be sensitive to their challenges – hear them.
• Grow their independence and self-sufficiency- implement a ‘choices and consequences’
decision-making model.
• Maintain open communication with them AND their teachers.
IB & GRADUATION WAIVERS• STUDENTS WHO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THE IB DIPLOMA REQUIREMENTS:
• EE/TOK/CAS
• 6 QUALIFYING IB COURSES AND EXAMS
• PASS ALL IB COURSES AT SHS
• MAINTAIN GOOD STUDENT CONDUCT
• RECEIVE WAIVERS FOR:
• CAREER AND TECH ED
• FINE ARTS
• HEALTH
• PE
• SOFTWARE TECH
*Those who do NOT meet the IB Diploma requirements for any reason will
be responsible for completing all normal ISD graduation requirements.
PLANNING WITH THE 7TH PERIOD DAY
• GREATLY SIMPLIFIED – MORE OPTIONS AND MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR ALL
STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF ACADEMIC FOCUS.
• IB WAIVERS STILL GIVE FLEXIBILITY BUT ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO
COMPLETE IB DIPLOMA.
• IF YOU SELECT IB DIPLOMA PLEASE CONSIDER SAVING SOME FINE ART, CTE OR
PE FOR 12TH GRADE SO YOU CAN USE SOME OF THE COURSEWORK TO
FULFILL GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS AND IB CAS REQUIREMENTS.
POSSIBLE SCHEDULE CONFLICTS
• We CANNOT GUARANTEE that every IB Diploma schedule will
work.
• Generally, ‘singleton classes’ such as Vocal Jazz, Evergreen,
Theatre, etc… may present scheduling complications. Students
may have to choose between a subject they love and the IB
Diploma.
• IB students (Course, Career, and Diploma) are not guaranteed
their 1st choice of electives. LIST ALL ALTERNATE COURSES WHEN
REGISTERING.

PLANNING FOR MUSIC
• TAKING SL MUSIC FOR 1 YEAR IN IB DIPLOMA IS NOT A PROBLEM.
• REQUIRES INVOLVEMENT IN A PERFORMANCE GROUP AND IB MUSIC SEMINAR AFTER
SCHOOL
• TAKING HL MUSIC OFTEN REQUIRES SOME GREATER DEGREE OF INVOLVEMENT
IN MUSIC OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL PRIOR TO SHS.
• OFTEN ADVANCED PERFORMANCE GROUPS
• COURSEWORK/EXPERIENCE WITH MUSIC THEORY
• EXPERIENCE WITH COMPOSITION
PLANNING FOR WORLD LANGUAGE
• AN IB DIPLOMA MUST INCLUDE COURSEWORK IN A WORLD LANGUAGE AT
SHS.
• THE WORLD LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY TEST DOES NOT EXEMPT STUDENTS.
• LANGUAGE SHOULD BE ‘NEW’ TO THE STUDENT.
• IB WORLD LANGUAGE (LANGUAGE B) IS DESIGNED AS A LANGUAGE
ACQUISITION COURSE. IBO STATES, “…LANGUAGE B SHOULD BE A
CHALLENGING EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR THE STUDENT, OFFERING
NOT ONLY THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AN ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE BUT
ALSO THE MEANS OF LEARNING, APPRECIATING AND EFFECTIVELY
INTERACTING IN A CULTURE DIFFERENT FROM THE STUDENT’S OWN.”
STUDENTS -PREPARATION FOR IB• TREAT YOUR BRAIN LIKE A MUSCLE - TAKE THE MOST APPROPRIATELY CHALLENGING CLASSES
YOU CAN PRIOR TO YOUR TIME IN IB.
• READ. ANYTHING. AS MUCH AS YOU CAN FROM AS WIDE A VARIETY OF SOURCES AS YOU
CAN.
• WE LEARN WAY MORE FROM FAILURE THAN SUCCESS. ACCUSTOM YOURSELF TO SETBACKS –
THOSE WILL HAPPEN. LEARN TO LEARN FROM THEM RATHER THAN JUST BEAT YOURSELF UP
WITH NEGATIVITY.
• DEVELOP STRONG, POSITIVE HABITS: EAT WELL, GET ENOUGH SLEEP, EXERCISE REGULARLY,
PRACTICE SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS WITH OTHERS SO IT BECOMES
COMFORTABLE.
• INDULGE IN A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES TO BETTER LEARN YOUR OWN PREFERENCES,
PREJUDICES, STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES. THIS KIND OF SELF-AWARENESS WILL ASSIST
YOU IN MAKING WISER CHOICES THROUGHOUT LIFE.
PLANNING FOR COLLEGE ADMISSIONS
• BE AWARE OF ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS FOR COLLEGES/PROGRAMS OF
INTEREST
• PLAN TO FULFILL 1.0 CREDIT IN FINE ARTS IN GRADES 9 OR 10 UNLESS YOU PLAN
TO INCLUDE FILM, MUSIC, THEATRE OR VISUAL ARTS IN YOUR IB DIPLOMA
• MOST COLLEGES REQUIRE SOME FINE ART FOR ADMISSIONS
• 0.5 FOR MOST PUBLIC 4 YEAR COLLEGES
• 1.0 FOR MOST 4 YEAR PRIVATE COLLEGES
• 1.0 IN THE SAME SUBJECT FOR ALL UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS
(UC BERKELEY, UC DAVIS, UCSF, ETC…)
