[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this is the question MCPS refuses to answer. If they couldn't successfully scale the RMIB program regionally, it is implausible they'd be able to accomplish what they're claiming to do with their regional program proposal, which strives to do what the Regional IB program tried to do on steroids.[/quote]

Taylor explained his take on this at one of the first regional program meetings. He thinks that keeping RMIB available as a countywide program prevented the regional programs from succeeding, because the highest flyers were still intent on going there and not interested in the regions.[/quote]

It's also interesting to note that the original plan for the regional IB programs was to NOT keep RM as countywide- but that changed at the last minute.  While all the planning was going on it was for 4 regional programs, not 3 regional and one county wide.  The last minute pivot may have impacted results.  IF the regionals all offered the same courses as RM I think you'd see different results.[/quote]
