The need to reform secondary-level education to prepare young people for new economic realities has emerged. In an age of constant career changing, cognitive flexibility is a top-priority skill to develop in today’s students. This shift requires methodological innovation that enhances children’s natural abilities as well as updated, focused teacher education in order to prepare them adequately. Educational Reform and International Baccalaureate in the Asia-Pacific is a collection of innovative research that examines the development and implementation of IB curricula. Highlighting a wide range of topics including critical thinking, student evaluation, and teacher training, this book is ideally designed for educators, curriculum developers, instructional designers, administrative officials, policymakers, researchers, academicians, and students.

Notwithstanding that growth, very little has been written about the library and the IBDP, whether research-based or offering accounts of good practice. --

This book takes a fresh look at programs for advanced studies for high school students in the United States, with a particular focus on the Advanced Placement and the International Baccalaureate programs, and asks how advanced studies can be significantly improved in general. It also examines two of the core issues surrounding these programs: they can have a profound impact on other components of the education system and participation in the programs has become key to admission at selective institutions of higher education. By looking at what could enhance the quality of high school advanced study programs as well as what precedes and comes after these programs, this report provides teachers, parents, curriculum developers, administrators, college science and mathematics faculty, and the educational research community with a detailed assessment that can be used to guide change within advanced study programs.

Recognized by universities throughout the world, the International Baccalaureate (IB) is a college entrance examination that students can take in any country. A school that adopts the IB curriculum ensures that its academics are brought up to international standards. Over 500 U.S. high schools currently participate in the International Baccalaureate program. As the IB concept gains ground with students, parents, and teachers in North America, Supertest tells two illuminating stories: how the IB program came to be and eventually reached the United States, and how it came to be implemented at Mount Vernon High in Alexandria, VA. The book provides insight into how ideas first conceived by a small group of educators in Switzerland eventually helped improve a typical American public school.

Full of practical help and guidance, this is a must have for primary trainees on school experience, whether they are in a school-based or university-based teacher training programme. It begins by helping trainees to plan their own journey through training and beyond. Taking control of their own training in this way supports student teachers to approach the course with confidence, and secure their first teaching job. The book provides guidance on: adapting to working in school observing, planning and evaluating in school teaching on placement assessing, monitoring and reporting on children′s progress self-evaluation and how to pre-empt and resolve issues securing the first teaching job and succeeding in the NQT year For student teachers, the experience of school-based training is exciting but also challenging - this book supports them throughout and prepares them for the journey ahead. Student feedback on this book: "Having been on a variety of teaching placements myself, I know just how daunting and overwhelming experiences in school can be at times – even with a supportive mentor by your side! Hence, I felt that this book can smooth out and rectify those worries one may face during a school placement, and offers the reader a realistic insight into school experiences. In my opinion, the most useful chapter by far is the ‘Moving On’ chapter near the end of the book. This explains how to conclude a school placement, what to expect from an interview, and even how to set out a CV for a teaching position. This was not something I expected to find in this book however it was very much welcomed and is, in fact, a very important, valuable part of the book. This is the type of book you can buy on your very first day of teacher training and use well into your days as a newly qualified teacher." - Jasmin, Primary Teacher Trainee (University of Northampton)

The perfect accompaniment for any student, parent or educator involved in the International Baccalaureate. The book is broken down modularly, to provide guidance for everyone, from novices to the programme, to experienced IBDP coordinators. Chapters include: choosing subjects, internal assessments, IB school profiles, revision tips, university application advice and much much more. Written by exceptional IB graduates turned educators. The book has been written both as a reference for those new to the programme, as well as students and educators in IBDP1 and IBDP2. At EIB Education, we have supported thousands of students at hundreds of schools around the world, and given hundreds of talks and presentations to all stakeholders within the IB ecosystem. This book is the result of countless conversations, questions answered and infinite hours of conversation in our office about the merits of the IB programme, and how best to approach it, as a student, a parent or an educator. Students: We hope this will not be something you read once and consign to the dustiest corner of your bookshelf! Instead, we hope to have insights relevant to all stages of your IB journey, from selecting your IB subjects to life after the IB, with plenty of key information targeting every point in an IB student's life- managing IA deadlines, deciding on an Extended Essay topic, how on earth to revise for six subjects at once, to name but a few. Parents: An IB education is a wonderful gift, and can open doors for your children forever, but there's no getting away from the fact that the IBO exists in its own world, much as does any all-encompassing education system. Use this guide to become au fait with the IB before your child, or children, embark on their IB adventure, but be sure to check back throughout the years to remind yourself of any key terminology and to stay on top of their upcoming deadlines. IB Educators: Whether you are a seasoned IB educator, or a teacher moving to the IB system for the first time, we hope you are as enthusiastic about IB teaching methods and the IB programmes as we are! We hope to have created an IB Guide you can dip in and out of throughout your time as an IB Educator, with sections you can pass through to your students and others which you may find informative yourself. If you feel there are further IB queries we have not tackled in this edition of the IB Guide, please do let us know, and we will be sure to address these in later revisions.
