  3. Humanities Workshop

  4. Curriculum Development Development of Curriculum that addresses one or more of the following: • Learning modalities • Holistic education • Areas of Interaction • Internationalism/intercultural awareness • Local requirements • Guiding questions • Assessment criteria

  5. MYP and Humanities

  6. Curriculum Model(Page 4 Humanities in Book) • Authenticity of discipline • Interdisciplinary (subject) • No Traditional Boundaries • A of I Common Link • Promotes Communication • Holistic- Seeing knowledge as interrelated whole

  7. Living Framework • MYP has evolved since its inception • Five year program is norm, exceptions subject to review • 3 or 2 year programs may be approved • Push to revise Conceptual framework • Time, Change, Systems and Internationalism, Place and Space • Drop cause and c and similarities and differences

  8. “When planning lessons, the most important decision is what you teach, not how you teach.”

  9. Aims • What the teacher may expect to teach • What the student may expect to learn • How the student may be changed by the learning experience

  10. Objectives • One of a set of statements for humanities describing the skills, knowledge and understanding which will be assessed • The assessment criteria correspond to the objectives

  11. Assessment • No external assessment by IBO/MYP • Unlike Diploma, MYP does not submit papers to be marked by IB • Papers are sent out for moderation at Level 5 • All assessment carried out by teachers

  12. Internal Assessment • To ensure standardization of assessment MYP has developed rubrics and requires external moderation of teacher’ internal assessment

  13. Formative vs. Summative • Formative- continuous • Summative-end of each level • Process assessment-focus less on result more on thought process leading to product • Page 48 in guide: suggestions • Assessment criteria should be shared with students and parents

  14. Schools can maintain their traditional grading to meet local requirements

  15. End Assessment • Based on 1-7 scale Page 60 • Criterion referenced not norm referenced

  16. Criterion Referenced • An assessment process based on awarding grades against established criteria.

  17. Norm Referenced • Assessment constructed to distribute students above and below a pass or fail line. Candidates are measured against each other.

  18. Moderation As minimum each folder representing a single student’s work must include: • A piece of extended writing(essay, research paper, project) • A unit or end of semester test including paragraph writing • A piece of classwork or homework

  19. Include description of task • Must be based on assessment criteria • Each set is from one student but may include group work. • Eight sets total

  20. See overheads

  21. Assessment Criteria • See page 52 in Guide for rules • Criterion A • Criterion B • Criterion C • Criterion D • Modified to make age/skill appropriate

  22. Norm Referencing • Constructed to distribute students above and below a pre-set pass or fail line where candidates are measured against each other • MYP does not norm reference • Rubric can and should be modified to address student potential • Students must be allowed to reach highest

  23. Personal Project • Culminating project completed during the last year of the five-year cycle • Areas of Interaction are the core of the Personal Project

  24. Internal assessment • The assessment of student’s work by the teacher

  25. Moderation • Where teacher’s assessment is evaluated externally • This ensures assessment has been carried out according to established criteria and standards • Adjustments happen for IBO validated grades

  26. Program Evaluation • A mandatory process for all authorized MYP schools • Point is to help schools in their own self-evaluation • Also ensures quality of programs

  27. Articulation H o r i z o n t a l V e r t i c a l

  28. Areas of Interaction

  29. In A of I Group • After you have synthesized information about your A of I come up with a summary for the rest of the participants • Create a guiding question that encapsulates the meaning of your A of I • For each grade represented in your group incorporate A of I into… • Existing Lesson • Possible Lesson

  30. HOMEWORK Think of a figure from history who has an international reputation and may be part of your curriculum.

  31. How do you promote intercultural awareness in your classroom? How does you school?

  32. Historical Figures Game By only asking questions that can be answered with a yes or no, try to figure out who “you” are.
