Teachers will

  • Actively participate in the year-level or team planning process by contributing to and leading discussions, sharing effective teaching strategies and resources. 
  • Collaboratively plan units and lessons, documenting these on the required platform(s) clearly and with descriptive detail that accurately expresses the expected student learning and demonstrates that learning is a continuous process.
  • Document planning of how students’ Approaches to Learning skills, Learner Profile attributes and use of information and communication technologies will be developed and evaluated on appropriate planner(s).
  • Use IBO programme, GJS curriculum and other relevant documents to ensure planning is grounded in a shared, comprehensive, integrated foundation.
  • Plan for ways to allow students ‘voice and choice’, documenting this on the appropriate planner(s).
Reflect prior to teaching and document this on the appropriate planner.

Teachers will

  • Collaboratively plan, prepare and implement standard and differentiated summative assessments, to be assessed according to the appropriate IBO programme criteria.
  • Independently and collaboratively plan, prepare and implement standard and differentiated formative assessments.
  • Communicate assessment expectations clearly to students in advance of the assessment.
  • Provide timely and effective feedback to students, which allows them to understand what they have achieved and how they can improve.
  • Provide timely, appropriate documentation, observations and recommendations in the appropriate location on ManageBac (e.g. gradebook or unit planner) or other relevant platform.
  • Contribute to collaborative review of assessment data.
  • Use assessment data to inform teaching going forward, documenting this in the appropriate reflection section of the unit planner on ManageBac.
