[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a reason you need more IB coordinators than AP. The IB coordinators do more than just manage tests etc. They mentor each individual kid through the program. At our school, they know all 180ish seniors by name. For two years they help and support them through the program. There is currently no equivalent in the AP program. Which is why you need fewer positions in AP. BTW, they also teach at least one class.[/quote] You need IB coordinators because the IBO says you do. It's one of the costs of admission and then you have folks whose jobs are expressly tied to IB and can be counted on to promote it externally. The low volume of IB candidates at their schools, however, tells that they don't mentor many kids effectively. Big waste of money.[/quote]
