New courses are the product of a curriculum development cycle which investigates (among other topics):

• ther syllabuses from awarding bodies and curriculums around the world
• feedback from universities on suitability
• current broader trends within the discipline, including pedagogy and assessment

Challenge: Solution:

How do we implement new IB mathematics courses effectively while maintaining current course sequences, meeting compliance, supporting student and teacher wellness, and facing declining enrollment in

• ur schools?

Embrace IB for All

IB Learner Profile

Embracing IB for All

Embracing IB will benefit students as every course becomes more able to integrate the Approaches to Teaching and Learning.

IB Education

Goal: To develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. Students should be encouraged to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand, that

• ther people with their differences, can

also be right.

Approaches to Learning Skills

Outcomes

• Fully aligns mathematics course

work with the International Baccalaureate providing intended two-year course sequences.

• Provides access to courses in

applied mathematics for all students.

• Increases access to IB course work

and programmes for all students.

• Increases access to IB Maths HL by

providing two distinct courses.

• Supports Academic level students

in an IB experience that meets their unique learning needs.

• Enriches the learning of all students by exposing them to a more balanced curricula

rich with inquiry, critical thinking, and reflection.
