1. All IB The aim of IB programme evaluation is to support schools in continuously extending their capacity to implement and develop IB programmes to have a greater impact on student outcomes through the development of teacher and leader practice.

Program evaluation:

is both a requirement and a service provided by the IB to IB World Schools

is a reflective exercise that involves the entire school community

assesses whether a school meets the IB Standards and Practices and will remain an authorized IB World School

supports school efforts to continually improve the delivery of the programs

can result in improved teaching and learning

1. The review is undertaken through a 18 month process of self-study, preparation of documents to support the self-study, writing the action plan for the next five years, submitting documents to IB and being involved in the evaluation visit.

The self-study is a detailed and thorough reflection by all community members on all aspects of the program implementation. The standards and practices establish a goal for schools to reach, though typically schools cannot meet all practices equally at all times. The self-study provides the opportunity to reflect honestly and identify where the school excels, where it has shown growth, and what needs additional attention.

The conclusions represent the perspectives of teachers, school leaders, students, parents, and community members.

The school gathers evidence regarding the implementation of each practice and rates the implementation.

2. The school is expected:

to determine its assessment of the implementation of the program

to identify major achievements during the period under review and to identify practices that need further development
