Middle Years Programme

Self-study evidence

Sample. Grouped by the four areas of the programme standards and practices, plus the self-study process. The words are Harbour's. A code is filled only where the published structure is clear. A hint is what good evidence looks like here, not a claim that Harbour already has it. ibo.org

Purpose

• The mission is written where teachers can find it

  Sample. Evidence named, not yet linked · Jonas Berg · 0101-01: the school's purpose is visible in the teaching.

  What good evidence looks like: A short statement a teacher can point to inside a unit, not only a poster in the lobby.

Environment

• Induction a new MYP teacher used this term

  Sample. Evidence named, not yet linked · Marco Ellison · 0203-01: a new teacher can work from the programme's current understanding.

  What good evidence looks like: A one-page induction, and the name of a teacher who used it.

• A room and a date for the personal project exhibition

  Sample · Helen Okonkwo

  What good evidence looks like: A booking and a student list. This row is sample data, not a confirmed booking.

Culture

• The academic integrity policy changed a decision this term

  Sample. Evidence named, not yet linked · Helen Okonkwo · 0301-03: academic integrity is a school policy in use.

  What good evidence looks like: One decision that names the policy, not only a file in a folder.

• Inclusion arrangements that followed the policy

  Draft · Marco Ellison · 0301-02: the inclusion policy is used, not only filed.

  What good evidence looks like: The policy, plus one example of an arrangement a student actually used.

Learning

• ATL named inside a lesson, not only on a checklist

  Gap · Marco Ellison · 0402-01: students develop approaches to learning.

  What good evidence looks like: One skill a student practised in the lesson, looked at again the week after.

• One interdisciplinary unit on the calendar

  Draft · Marco Ellison

  What good evidence looks like: One shared question and one task, with both subjects named.

• Personal project: every student has a supervisor

  Sample. Evidence named, not yet linked · Marco Ellison

  What good evidence looks like: A supervisor and a next meeting date for each student.

• Unit planners show what the student is assessed on

  Gap · Marco Ellison

  What good evidence looks like: The planner names the task, not only the topic title.

Process

• The evaluation self-study narrative

  Gap · Marco Ellison

  What good evidence looks like: Each claim sits next to one piece of student or teacher work. The narrative is not written yet. This is the school's process, not a purpose practice.
