User Group Conference

ManageBac

Munich 2015

Welcome!

Welcome to our first user group conference in Europe! A special thanks goes to Bavarian International School for graciously hosting this event. As we look back on the last eight years, we celebrate the schools and coordinators who challenged us to evolve beyond CAS Manager in 2007 and serve the full IB continuum for curriculum planning, assessment and reporting.

Today we are thrilled to work with over 1,500 schools in 110+ countries, and our users continue to challenge and impress us every day. From the leadership teams creating school workflows, to the technology integration coordinators who train teachers, students, and staff, to the acadmic directors who alert us to new curriculum changes, to the principals who produce report cards more varied and beautiful than we imagined, to everyone who sends us feature requests and suggestions - we remain grateful to all of you.

Thanks for your patience and faith in us. This conference is for you.

Best Regards,

The ManageBac Team

Keynote: Finding the Continuum - joining the dots

It remains a question for many International Schools: to become an IB continuum school or to pick the programmes that best suits their needs? The argument that the IB makes for joining all 3 (now 4) programmes is that it offers a true continuum of learning. Unfortunately sometimes finding the thread is a little hard. Yes, they all share the same learner profile and they have the same identified skills in approaches to learning / transdisciplinary skills, but other routes through the curriculum are a little harder to follow. At times each programme can get stuck within its own cliches (DP exams, MYP unit plans and PYP inquiry cycles) and lose site of how they each contribute to the evolution of the learner.

Angelica NierrasManaging Director

In 2015, ManageBac celebrated its eigth year of operation. We owe you our sincere thanks, and we look forward to many more years of working closely with our schools. Welcome to our first user group conference in Munich!

ManageBac at Bavarian International School

In this session, Frederic will share the story of how Managebac has been implemented at BIS, how to get admin, parent, student and teacher buy-in (hint: not always easy!). Frederic will also share his workflow and procedures to keep everything running smoothly. He will then discuss how training and ongoing support has been implemented and staffed at his school. He will then share his school’s policies and procedures to ensure Managebac is a useful tool for the whole community of parents, students, teachers and administrators. Bavarian International School use Managebac to its full potential for the MYP and DP, including the use of the attendance and reporting features.

Frederic NeversDigital Learning Integrator & Teacher of Technology

11:15 AM - 12:15 PMNew Sports Hall Studio

In 2015, we will be introducing ManageBac on Rails 4, which is a complete re-architecture that will provide: § Modern and responsive user interface design that will support web and mobile access via your phone & tablet. § Real-time and collaborative curriculum planning with an accordion-style unit plan editor. § Support for IBCC. § French and Spanish language support.

We are also committed to: § Continuing our work with admissions offices through OpenApply, § Improving international school management with InterSIS, § Offering single sign-on integration with FinalSite, and § Delivering an e-submission platform for IB world schools.

Together we remain inspired and excited to fulfill our original promise:To ensure that IB World schools have a state-of-the-art technology infrastructure.

Admissions Policy & Protocol in the Admissions Office

Catalina GardescuManager of Admissions & External Relations

This session is inviting you to a discussion about finding our way through the troubled waters of enrolling the best students, redefining ourselves while doing it and hopefully keeping a smile on our face. We will be having a bit of fun engaging in a discussion about policy and protocol in the admissions office, brainstorming solutions and discussing common struggles. You will not leave this session with any re-invented wheel but, hopefully, with a feeling of having been part of an atmosphere of professional engagement, critical thinking and partnership.

Carriageway Theatre 2:45 PM - 4:15 PMManageBac setup for a new user school, problems and solutions for Non-IB provision

Esmond TweedieDP Coordinator

A light-hearted, yet informative commentary on the experience of rolling out ManageBac across a school that operates the Diploma programme and a non-IB curriculum, covering the following topics:1. Overcoming fear of ManageBac.2. Elements that work well.3. Difficulties incorporating non-IB curriculum and how solved.4. Areas in which teachers feel insecure with ManageBac and how to help.

Student and staff video interviews, group workshop, and more!

MP2 2:45 PM - 4:15 PMManageBac and Assessment in the MYP

Virginia NeilsenMYP Coordinator

In this workshop you will learn how to set up and utilise ManageBac to effectively streamline assessment. This includes setting up and creating both formative and summative assessment tasks for your classes, effective use of grade books and how it is all linked to the calendar and emails. This allows parents and students to keep keep track of a range of information to support learning. Lastly we will look at how you can set up effective report cards and templates to suit the needs of your school.

The Evolution of ManageBac at Sotogrande International School

Peter ReichertMYP Design Teacher

As with many areas involving technology, our use of ManageBac at SIS has developed and grown since we first signed up. Over the past three years, we’ve had our share of success as well as our share of “learning opportunities.” We’ll walk through the journey beginning with our decision to change VLE’s and getting buy-in from the teachers and include milestones such as rolling it out to teachers, students and then parents. We’ll share what we have learned from the wide variety of training materials we’ve made and have examples of how ManageBac has worked with us to customize the platform to meet our needs.

ManageBac DP, MYP, PYP and OpenApply Support Workshops

Curriculum Planning, Assessment, and School-to-Home Communication in PYP

All the PYP coordinators around the world need to have in place the below practices and requirements in their schools related to the standard C2 the written curriculum:1. The school ensures that there is a coherent, horizontally and vertically articulated programme of inquiry. There

is documented evidence that the curriculum developed addresses the five essential elements.2. The written curriculum is available to the school community.3. There is a system for regular review and refinement of the programme of inquiry, individual units of inquiry and

the subject-specific scope and sequences. Programme standards and practices January 2014

We all know how difficult this task is, especially in large schools, new schools or even schools that are looking for innovation and best practices. Change is a key word in our daily life these days… Change on all levels. Teachers, parents and students want stability, accountability and day to day communication regarding the learning process in the classroom.

In this session we will share how SEK International School in Qatar is using ManagBac to make sure that we are providing a structured, virtual learning environment for all our community members where the planning process, the assessment and the daily communication are all connected!

Day Two

Keynote: ATL and the Teaching Revolution

Lance KingFounder The Art of Learning

When all the information in the world is available at the fingertips of every student then the key skills needed for success both academically and in the world of business and enterprise will be the skills of the self-regulated learner. At that point the development of self-regulated (self-managed, self-directed, independent, autonomous) learners will become the primary focus of schooling which will require all forms of transmission teaching to be replaced by process oriented, skills based, teaching. The ATL Skills programme at both the MYP and DP levels has been designed with this idea in mind because this is not the future, this is now.

This presentation will focus on how the successful design and implementation of an ATL Skills programme in any school could revolutionise teaching and learning, improve academic success rates and give all students the skills they need to create success for themselves in the 21st Century.

9:30 AM - 11:30 AMAuditorium

Emotional Intelligence and School Admissions: Connecting People

The role of admissions goes beyond enrolling students and ensuring correct data on student files. From the time a family contacts the school through to the students beginning classes, the successful admissions officer needs to work effectively with everyone involved in the process: parents, students, relocation and education professionals, and school personnel including school secretary, Head of School and divisional heads, classroom teachers, special needs and language teachers, school secretary, and the school’s transition team, PTA and classroom parents. Only in ensuring a wraparound approach to admissions, can new students and their families be effectively transitioned to their new school and country.

Some of the discussion points will include:• Why is admissions such an emotionally demanding position?• What services should an admissions office provide?• What is the role of admissions in managing families in transition?• What is best practice in managing internal and external relationships?

Join us for a session which combines information about emotional intelligence with practical suggestions for ensuring an efficient, but also warm and welcoming introduction and induction into your school for your new students and their families.

Using ManageBac for DP as a Whole-SchoolCommunication System

At Danube International School Vienna we use ManageBac in the IB PYP, MYP and DP programmes. It has greatly enhanced communication and accountability: it is difficult to blame ManageBac gremlins for eating your homework, not telling you that the Maths internal assessment deadline was on Monday or marking you absent for Psychology last lesson on a Friday afternoon. This session will focus on the use of the following features in the IB Diploma programme: the calendar for deadlines and events; sending messages to students and parents; attendance; assignments; integration with Turnitin; reporting; exam entries; CAS.

Tips & Tricks from a five-year ManageBac Implementation

Ryan KingsleyIT Manager

In 2009 the teachers of the Stockholm International School had to log into three different systems within the school on a daily basis. Today they use only one and can do it from any of their mobile devices. Teachers, Parents and Students from K-12 now use only Managebac for their Curriculum platform, Reporting, Attendance and Communication and this is directly linked to OpenApply and InterSIS. Having overseen the five year implementation process, Ryan will use this session to share his experience and tips and tricks, in his search for one system that does it all for an International K-12 IB World school.

Best practices for utilising ManageBac in the PYP

An interactive and collaborative session for PYP ManageBac users to share best practices for planning, reporting, communicating with parents and opening up access to families and students. Participants will be asked to provide examples of their best practice to share with PYP ManageBac community. A chance to showcase the best of what your school does and find ways of improving our current practices!

Brave new world...a practical approach to handling the changes

Caroline HazelMYP Coordinator

Well, Next Chapter has been in gear for half a year now. We’re over the initial excitement (every subject gets four criteria! Everything’s out of eight! Hurrah! Hurrah!) and are now fully immersed in the overhaul of five grade levels of curriculum – curriculum that has often been in place for years, that is tried, tested, and true. Plus changes to the Personal Project, to the ATLs, to Service, to the MYP Certificate…wow.

So how do you get teachers on board to make the changes? How do you make it practical and achievable as well as challenging?

This session will look at two fundamental aspects of MYP: the Next Chapter – MYP unit planning and the Personal Project. In the first part of this session, we will take a very practical approach to guiding teachers through redesigning their units. Caroline will also share the ‘How to write an MYP unit plan using ManageBac’ guide developed at ACS Egham, along with some very basic tips and tricks that have really worked for us.

In the second part of this session, we will look at the changes that have been made to the Personal Project structure this year and how to guide students and supervisors through the process. You’ll hear about our school’s development of the Personal Project and the structures we have created to support and sustain it. I will share copies of our new Personal Project student handbook and also our brand new guide for students on how to write the project report, based on the new assessment criteria.

The Art of Learning

Lance KingTechnology Integration Specialist

Over the last three years Lance has been delivering workshops around the world on ATL implementation. This one hour session will go over some of the best ATL implementation strategies that have come out of those workshops and will look at issues of design, the separation of Core Generic and Subject Specific ATL skills, mapping, vertical and horizontal articulation, assessment and teaching of ATL skills. Lance will be available to answer any questions participants have and will be aiming to work with problems that participants bring.

Managing Expectations Across Admissions

The only way to succeed in running admissions at an international private school is to properly manage expectations across the board. In her break out session/workshop, Natalie will open several different internal processes including client development (the “school tour”), lead nurturing, admissions, retention and re-enrollment and discuss the importance of expectation management within each. The workshop will be an exchange of ideas followed by a self-reflection activity.

Tools for analysis and collation of ManageBac data

ManageBac provides us with mountains of information relating to tasks, assignments and grades. By processing this data efficiently, it is possible to generate quick automated overviews of what is happening in your school.

The International School of The Hague (ISH) is a fairly big school, we have over 500 classes on ManageBac, over 100 teachers and over 800 students - so the data management is a big task.

To support the use of ManageBac and to disseminate the data I have developed tools in Excel/VBA and Google Apps Script to collate and summarise the data for staff and leadership teams. I am happy to share some of these tools.

I will strive to demonstrate the range of tools I have. I will provide copies of the generic ones on the supporting website (for free). During the session I will walk through the process of how I use these tools to check, process and communicate reporting data.

ManageBac & AIS Bucharest – An implementation story

Laura AmzaSecondary School Registrar

Catalina GardescuManager of Admissions & External Relations

An open discussion, started from the story of the happy “marriage” between ManageBac and AISB. Be prepared to ask questions and write down ideas while we walk you through a case study of ManageBac implementation, outlining struggles and success stories and offering tips for implementation and teacher training. You will hopefully leave this session with more clarity on the kind of solution ManageBac presents and with helpful ideas to guide your own implementation.

2:30 PM - 4:00 PMMP4

Using ManageBac in the PYP: Planning, Communication and Reporting

Hope SteenPYP Coordinator

In this presentation, you will see how Trondheim International School transitioned into implementing ManageBac at their school. We will show how Trondheim International School uses ManageBac to connect administrators, teachers, parents and students. This includes the planning process, assessment and reporting, calendars, attendance, as well as regular communication with parents.
