AST Conference Workshop

The workshop will begin with an overview of a year for one teacher's IB science course in its second year, from July to June and including the May exam. This overview will include key IB dates, IB feedback documents for teachers, testing students, assignments and activities, predicting grades, samples of teacher materials and student materials, a 2009 PSOW, exam review, sending work for moderation, and activities that occur after the May exams. This presentation should also be available online after the conference.

After the 20 minute presentation there will be a discussion time where the focus will first be supporting IB students in terms of teacher generated study guides, teacher or school websites, and other study material. Questions regarding internal assessment, Group 4 project, marking with the IB rubrics, seeing sample student work, and external essays are also welcome during this second part of the workshop.

Here is a PDF scan of the presentation and many of the materials handed out with the presentation.

IB Question Bank

"Create tests, exams, and teaching material in minutes" so says the cover of this CD and it is that simple. You first search for questions by type and or topic and the program will then allow you to select a variety of questions and print a test, or an assignment. It will also indicate the time allotted by the IB for each question and it will print a mark scheme as well. It is available for biology and a variety of other subjects. Link to store.
