Janet Echelman: Taking imagination seriously

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Janet Echelman found her true voice as an artist when her paints went missing -- which forced her to look to an unorthodox new art material. Now she makes billowing, flowing, building-sized sculpture with a surprisingly geeky edge. A transporting 10 minutes of pure creativity.

2022 at a glance-Diploma Programme

As we draw closer to the May 2022 session here are the key updates for you to be aware of.

New courses for first assessment

New assessment components

Language Acquisition Listening Component
The listening comprehension examinations for language B SL and HL and language ab initio SL courses will begin in May 2022 (following a delay from 2020)

To help schools prepare for these assessments, full specimen examinations audio files, guides and FAQs are available on the Programme Resource Centre.

Specimen assessments for all language B and ab initio subjects have been made available on the Programme Resource Centre to fully support candidates in their preparation for the listening component.

Please select the required language from Resources to view audios in that language, as shown in the screenshot below:

The IB has made adaptations to help address the challenges caused by the pandemic, including adjustments to learning, teaching, and assessment, which have been extended to examinations in 2022.

We are requiring schools to upload all Internal Assessment (IA) Coursework, which is typically moderated for external marking with teacher comments (apart from subjects in the Arts, TOK, and Global Politics HL extension and Reflective Project). There is also a requirement to upload Internal Assessment coursework for Language A: Literature and Language A: Language and Literature.

You will need to submit internal coursework components alongside a document of criteria marks and teacher comments for all of your registered students via the eCoursework portal accessible via IBIS. More guidance on which coursework to upload and how to submit teacher comments is available here.

The IB will once again provide predicted grade distributions for schools to use alongside the IB grade descriptors and each student's body of work when teachers determine predicted grades for their students, before submitting them to the IB.

As in November 2021 schools can exceed their distribution but this may mean the IB asks for additional evidence in support of these predicted grades.

Further information regarding predicted grades will be provided in early 2022.

The IB is currently planning to hold the examination session as normal in May 2022, however we recognize that the pandemic is continuing and that situations can change rapidly.

Should any student, or group of students, need to quarantine for some, or all, of their examinations we will still be able to award results using contingency measures in those cases.

Further information will be provided in early January with regards to plans for the session.

The exam schedule has been updated (November 2021).

In order to maintain the value and recognition of IB qualifications for learners and universities, it is important that we return to pre-pandemic standards as soon as possible. At the moment, however, it is not possible to predict when students' learning will no longer be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Even those who have yet to begin IB programmes may be less well-prepared as a result of COVID-19-related disruption to their teaching and learning. Therefore, we believe it is appropriate to return to established standards incrementally. We will still set grade boundaries in May 2022 that mitigate for the impact of the pandemic on students. We expect grade distributions to be close to the mid-point between May 2021 and May 2019 (pre-pandemic), this is in-line with the practice of a number of other qualifications.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Dear Head of School/Coordinator,

We hope that you have had a successful beginning of term, whether you have been able to resume face to face teaching, are offering hybrid or, fully remote teaching and learning for your students.

As the registration deadline for the May 2022 session is 15 November 2021, we wanted to provide an update regarding the session to assist your planning and preparation.

The IB has made adaptations to help address the challenges caused by the pandemic, including adjustments to learning, teaching, and assessment, which have been extended to examinations in 2022. Schools can access more information regarding these adaptations via the Programme Resource Centre.

Internal Coursework Components

In order to ensure we have flexibility in our planning for 2022 we will be continuing to externally mark internal coursework which is usually moderated by the IB.
As with the May and November 2021 sessions we are asking that schools upload all Internal Assessment (IA) Coursework, which is typically moderated for external marking with teacher comments (apart from subjects in the Arts, TOK and Global Politics HL extension). As was the case in May 2021, there is also a requirement to upload Internal Assessment coursework for Language A: Literature and Language A: Language and Literature.

This means you will need to submit internal coursework components alongside a document of criteria marks and teacher comments for all of your registered students via the eCoursework portal accessible via IBIS. More guidance on which coursework to upload and how to submit teacher comments is available here.

We know that schools are working diligently to support students completing Internal Assessments across a variety of circumstances. To support the completion of internal assessments we have updated the guidance here. This information supersedes guidance found in the previously published guides.

The disruptions faced by our global community are varied and unpredictable, as such we want to ensure we are prepared for every eventuality, including the possibility of the need to offer a non-exam route for schools where it is not possible to administer examinations due to pandemic restrictions.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely, listen to our schools and consult regulators, ministries and universities as we prepare for the examinations.

Approach to grade awarding

During 2020 and 2021, it was important for the IB to provide fair and meaningful grades whilst also balancing the need to provide mitigations that helped to address the disruption students faced, and access to higher education alongside students taking other qualifications.

In order to maintain the value and recognition of IB qualifications for learners and universities, it is important that we return to pre-pandemic standards as soon as possible.At the moment, however, it is not possible to predict when students' learning will no longer be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Even those who have yet to begin IB programmes may be less well-prepared as a result of COVID-19-related disruption to their teaching and learning. Therefore, we believe it is appropriate to return to established standards incrementally. We will still set grade boundaries in May 2022 that mitigate for the impact of the pandemic on students. We expect grade distributions to be close to the mid-point between May 2021 and May 2019 (pre-pandemic), this is in-line with the practice of a number of other qualifications.

You should be assured that we will continue to mitigate for the disruption caused by the pandemic, including the option of offering a non-exam route for schools where the continued impact of the pandemic means they cannot administer written exams.

Our teams are committed to ensure our planning for 2022 is informed by principles of fairness and compassion, and to avoid any undue stress on students during this challenging time.

We know that this continues to be a challenging time for our schools and students, we are here to support you. If you have any questions, please contact support@ibo.org or your IBWS manager.

Kind Regards
Anton Béguin
Chief Assessment Officer

Great artwork is when there is a strong developed idea, meaningful connection to the world or others, and skillful execution. Therefore great artwork is the connection of head, heart, and hand.
