Supporting your IB student
For the 2 years of IB we ask parents to
Become MORE involved! Help keep them organized! Continue to motivate them!
© International Baccalaureate Organization 2007
Please focus on...
A REAL method of organization Behaviours that will lead to success Methods of study that are efficient Prioritizing their time Encouraging them to continue when they get
discouraged

How to deal with marks
IB is NOT the same old evaluation
•Teachers will communicate how students can raise their IB scores in tests, assignments, other assessments
•Students must figure out this NEW way of “scoring”
•Final IB scores in a subject are NOT just a cumulative set of scores
•We are working towards a “7” over the course of 2 years

What if the marks are not what we expect
Compare first year university to first year IB There needs to be an adjustment period Students can continue to move higher in their scores
as they continue with the IB programme Are we seeing differences in their WAY they are doing
things We are DEVELOPING the attributes of the Learner

Will all this work really pay off
YES More and more Canadian Universities are recognizing
the IB Diploma as a step above• Dalhousie University, University of Saskatchewan
Students will have a more flexible university course load (advanced standing credits)
Students will be better prepared to deal with the stress of university
We hear anecdotal evidence of IB students doing more and being given more opportunities while at university
