Our Mission:
To empower educators with meaningful data and pedagogy to increase performance and equitable participation in advanced academic programs.
Our Beliefs:
- The more students who can access the IB curriculum the better.
- There is no correlation between increased student participation and scores.
- In order for students and teachers to feel they can tackle the rigor of an IB course, teachers (and coordinators) must understand how the different components interact to produce an IB score of 1-7.
- Teachers must then use this increased understanding component data to create an assessment model that will be predictive of an IB score.
