Exciting News!!!! IB Progress Reports

    Every MYP student received their first progress report for the 3 rd quarter on Wednesday, April 8 th .

 This progress report should have been signed and returned.

The goal of the IB progress report is to show the progress that our IB students are making towards the objectives established by the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme. The numerical values on the progress reports indicate the achievement level scores received on particular IB summative assessments.

All IB summative assessments are scored on pre-determined rubrics that IB has established.

 These rubrics can be found on our website under the IB tab.

Sample IB Progress Report

IB has established four objectives for each subject group (class). A,B,C,D. For example, in Mathematics the four objectives are A-Knowing and Understanding, B Investigating Patterns, C Communicating, and D Applying Mathematics in real-life context. Each objective (A,B,C,D) has its own pre determined IB rubric.

Sample rubric for year 1 (6

grade) Individuals and Societies (History), Criterion/Objective A

Objectives (A,B,C,D) are then broken into different achievement levels with numerical values ranging from 0-8. Each achievement level has specific level descriptors that describe what a students needs to demonstrate to attain a specific achievement level .

Task-Specific Clarifications 0 Achievement level 1-2 Level descriptor

Impacts for next year

Next year, all MYP students will receive IB progress reports each quarter and will also receive a final report card with an IB grade in each subject group.

 IB Final Grades are on a 1-7 scale.

 IB grades do not replace Franklin Academy grades but provide a view of your child’s progress through the lens of IB.    IB has established descriptions for each final grade score.

Each student must be assessed on each objective at least two times per year (IB requirement).

It is important to understand that IB summative assessments are not averaged to determine a final IB grade. Final grades are determined by the growth of the student throughout the course of the school year.  For example: if a student is assessed on objective D at the beginning of the year and scores a 2 and then at the end of the year is assessed again on objective D and scores a 4, we do not average them together to determine a final grade. Instead, we look at the overall growth of where the student finished on the objective.

IB Final Grades- Individuals and Societies, year 1

By the end of the school year, every IB teacher must assess each criteria/objective for his/her particular subject group at least twice. Final IB course grades are not averaged. They are determined by the professional judgment of teachers based on the entire body of evidence as well as the ongoing learning process. Project Research Paper Test Project Total 6 5

IB Student Ambassadors

   IB Student Ambassadors were selected for this honor in recognition of their accomplishments, both academically and socially. These students displayed outstanding character and commitment to academic excellence in our MYP.

As an ambassador, these students will play an integral part in the development of our MYP Program here at Franklin Academy. The International Baccalaureate designed the MYP as “a programme that helps students participate actively and responsibly in a changing and increasingly interrelated world.” Our ambassadors voices and involvement are crucial. The goal of the ambassadors is to fervently engage all stakeholders in our continued endeavor to become an IB World School.
