Access to Supervisors
The overall process is longer and thus gives an opportunity for more time dedicated to the EE

Elongating the time frame for EE

# data[].attributes.body
The early start doesn't allow the students to make very well informed decisions on which subject to choose from.

# data[].attributes.body
Material covered is not enough at that point for classes such as Physics, Maths -esp. for research based EE possibilities.

Maybe too long of a process? Possibility of disengagement and lack enthusiasm.

Moving to mock exam week would work, but taking the exams away would be detrimental to them - experiencing the exams

Mock exam week might be quick
Science EE's need time to vet methodology

Having kids stay behind for a week is not good for their university process and mental well-being; supervisors working directly with students.

# data[].attributes.body
In some subject areas the EE is more process oriented so it can work without having a lot of content knowledge. Getting EE week out of their summer is healthy for kids! Meeting with advisors during mock week.

october is still busy with applications

Keep the EE week.  It is a time with no other distractions.
Putting it in the school year will be a bit chaotic. The EE will compete with the other academic and extra-curricular commitments of the students.

# data[].attributes.body
can we utilize senior week?

The early start seems tough; particularly meeting with students in the next two months.

Not enough content for them to come up with a question on their own at this point.

# data[].attributes.body
If the process is longer, there needs to be more checks along the way. Wonder if it would be better to start after first semester or start in first semester when they have the extra prep time. Wonder about if they have enough content in certain subject areas to start an EE (wonder about what is being taught in grade 9/10 if they can't make those calls right at the start of grade 11).

Concerns with moving the EE work week forward as science students need time to work out their procedures we also need time to order materials/chemicals students would need. Sometimes it takes 6 - 8 weeks to receive chemicals or live specimens

If you want an exam at the end of year 1 how will that impact EE week?

# data[].attributes.body
may be less in science with less material covered, so more turning to social sciences than already do

supervisors on campus would be great!

March is early for EE week

Mix of responses

Some liked option 1, 2

Some didn't like losing class time

A lot of the format of the EE should be front loaded if using option 1 and 2.

I think juniors need to have an exam at the end of year 1.

What is student feedback on the summer EE work week? Do they like it? If so, we should keep it.

Students need to come in with a better idea of what the EE looks like so that the meetings with the advisors really focus just on a RQ.

Need to front load.

Can we change what GAP looks like for juniors? Maybe use some of this time for RQ development for the EE

In my room's experience, students that have focused on the process have made huge progress in completing the EE. Having it after the school year ends also limits other distractions.

Loss of instructional time--especially in languages

EE week currently--kids are fried; lack of consistency from where the student starts and where they end with the research question without supervisor knowing.

My room was in general against losing any school year class time for EE week (especially the HL teachers).

Can we agree on a common system for citations so that we can have an opportunity for kids to learn it well and achieve consistency.

Later date for the first draft it a bit more difficult for counseling to receive the PG for EE

Hybrid model. Keep the EE week, but start the EE earlier, like maybe November as suggested by Ebony

Instead of a week - what about having days throughout the year? Weekends or afternoons (or during faculty PD days or something)

In-house workshop to promote TOK experiences for students in each of their IB subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
There are some common needs, such as research, critical thinking, and analytical skills for all IB DP subjects. Ideally, the DP Core needs to be tapped into more in order to diffuse these skill instructions and development in all DP subjects. So, a possibility is to work with the SL/ HL hour adjustments and coming up with the 'Core' time in the timetable for all DP students. CAS projects can certainly benefit from research skills and ethical considerations in the investigation and other stages of their planning and implementation.

# data[].attributes.body
can we use the "extra" SL hours that we have to work on the EE?

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe we can work to devise and share stress reduction through teaching organization tips & tricks in the IBDP. Students need to be given strategies to try to help them manage the workload.

# data[].attributes.body
The IB wants this to be a PROCESS - it is not about the final product, that's why they have them do reflections throughout the PROCESS. This would be a great way to make the students think of it more as a process of research in a field of study, not getting a score on a subject topic.

# data[].attributes.body
For the sake of the children's mental health, please take the EE week in the summer away. There are plenty of hours for ALL subject areas to be able to cover their syllabus if proper planning is in place from the start of the year. There is NO need for students to not be working on their EE during the regular school year, regardless of where that time falls.

# data[].attributes.body
Since we have some experts who've been for training on ATLs, could they help guide others about HOW the IB wants these classes taught? Perhaps this could be a collaborative time where we broke into subject specific groups to have conversations about ATL and what that looks like in each area.

# data[].attributes.body
EE was a part of Senior Week a long time ago, as was TOK essay writing. In one of the schools that I worked at, we had a TOK residential week for 5 days and four nights. We also incorporated EE planning there as well, through a series of workshops and relevant and fun recreational activities offered by different members of faculty and staff on the team, involving the Advisors for the year level.

Core class where students work on EE / CAS / TOK ... no need for EE week at all!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
We talked about core time - having a class dedicated to students working on CAS, EE, and TOK (the 7th period). There was talk of this killing off the music programme, but then why can't the students take music as an additional 8th period subject, or perhaps we need to be offering IB music as a group 6 for those kids who want to take it?

# data[].attributes.body
based on our conversations it seems like we need a group of teachers to put their heads together on this and propose some possible options - perhaps this needs to be across IB teams as it seems that science and math have some very specific needs that don't really match up with english and social studies.
