[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be perfectly possible to implement an IB curriculum while keeping many facets of the Traditional model. It doesn’t have to be either/or. Basically IB just means the teachers and administrators need special training and the curriculum is divided up into units of inquiry. There’s also a huge focus on character development through core values and social emotional growth and community service. This doesn’t mean that you can’t teach phonics, have homework, have one teacher, tuck in shirts or do anything else in the ATS program as I currently understand it. The students keep a portfolio of work outlining their growth over the years and in 5th grade do a research/based bigger group project. No reason a school can’t be traditional and IB that I’m aware of. [/quote] This is a great explanation, thank you. [/quote]
