Caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. 

We cannot define what is the accurate definition of better world, every youngster has her or his choice to define what the world they want. IB program provides more like a philosophy rather than training to students. 

2. Rigorous assessment

I think the rigorous assessment in IB is helpful to student and it can present the full picture of student in thinking skills, communications skills, social skills, self-management skills as well as research skills. ]]> 2022-03-07 15:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/tonymu2_1/nvhjuq677ovtldcx/wish/2081901932 Question 2: IB learner profile--What is the dominant reading of this text and what might be an oppositional reading of the IB learner profile? tonymu2_1 https://padlet.com/tonymu2_1/nvhjuq677ovtldcx/wish/2081923326 IB learner profiles almost includes all the expectation from family, school, society and world. They are very good aims to pursuit. However, we also need to aware that how can we help students to get these aims because we need to think about some practical factors, such as different culture, social situation, student's own background, school resources, etc. ]]> 2022-03-07 15:36:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tonymu2_1/nvhjuq677ovtldcx/wish/2081923326 Question 3: Course aims and assessment objectives--What is the tone created in the aims and assessment objectives, how does the author create it, and why? tonymu2_1 https://padlet.com/tonymu2_1/nvhjuq677ovtldcx/wish/2081946161 Studying Objectives:

Open, democratic classroom
This should be the situation of classroom in the future educational world. Education is not teacher-centred activity anymore, we should give the power back to students and give them more freedom and choices to develop themselves based on their own interests and backgrounds.

2. Lifetime of learning

Learning is a lifelong thing. Lifelong learning is the educational model we need to pursuit in 21st century. And learning should not be ended only at school, we need to keep students interests to learning and show them what are the most important learning skills in their future life. ]]> 2022-03-07 15:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tonymu2_1/nvhjuq677ovtldcx/wish/2081960926 Question 5: Creativity, activity and service--What words or phrases demonstrate the ideological perspective of this text? tonymu2_1 https://padlet.com/tonymu2_1/nvhjuq677ovtldcx/wish/2081979482 1. Raise awareness about a global issue
As a new global citizen in 21st century, students should have their own viewpoints to global issues and the development trend to future world. Moreover, excellent literary works also focus on humanity nature and show empathy to people who meet unsatisfied situation. These things are across time and space, local and global.

2. The connections between a subject and CAS
The connection between a subject and CAS is an innovative try to beyond the boundary between different subjects. Students can use CAS to digest good ideas they learn from different aspects and try to make a project which contributes to community. ]]> 2022-03-07 16:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tonymu2_1/nvhjuq677ovtldcx/wish/2081979482
