1. Know before the course starts when the major assessment points are, especially for the Individual Oral, and agree with other colleagues teaching the course (if there's more than one of you!) when moderation will take place, and what will be moderated
2. Ensure students have a detailed course map setting out what will be studied when and the kinds of assessments to be used
3. Spend some time at the start of the course establishing the best ways for students to develop a course portfolio based on personal reflections, notes made in and outside lessons, acquiring resources [such as pictures] that could be used to help develop spoken skills in advance of the oral, a glossary of important terms.
4. Review formats, rubrics, strategies for each assessment element well in advance and provide "walkthroughs"
5. Establish a shared online resources point for the class, including video clips, articles, podcasts and other resources based on a structured inventory built around the course themes
6. Establish through discussion early on the first literary text and aim to cover this within the first term; start to consider the choice of the second text in the light of this towards the end of studying the text.
7. Build in regular course review components for students so that, in writing and verbally, they can comment on what they are finding challenging/helpful.]]> 2020-06-06 02:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ana_valbuena1_1/l65o4kwr5bm5sfl7/wish/613875315 nicolealettarochat https://padlet.com/ana_valbuena1_1/l65o4kwr5bm5sfl7/wish/615095267 2020-06-07 12:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ana_valbuena1_1/l65o4kwr5bm5sfl7/wish/615095267 nicolealettarochat https://padlet.com/ana_valbuena1_1/l65o4kwr5bm5sfl7/wish/615095523 5. Familiarise with Language B guide, take notes and make an outline before teaching to see the bigger picture and include all elements and themes

I'd say it's important to every once in a while (especially in the beginning) go throught the IB learner profile so students understand what attitudes are expected from them (students might tend to be a little imature and they must understand they need to have more autonomy, take action, be responsible).
9. transparency is key: always tell students what's expected of them in assessments, so show them the assessment criteria and give relevant feedback.
-10. to better integrate TOK, CAS and extended essay, talk to the teacher and coordinators responsible for these contents so you can exchange ideas and get familiar with content and activities.

12. Use current topics to engage students
13. develop projects in which they can interact with the rest of the school community
