Why “IB”?International Baccalaureate Diploma Program

IB Diploma Students are prepared for College

• Colleges recruit IB students because they are well‐rounded, intellectually curious, community‐minded, and they know the type of work that IB students have done and can do.

• 2012 study of Chicago public schools interviewed Diploma Programmealumni. Students reported that they felt prepared by the program to succeed in college.

• A 2009 study looked at the standards for seven Diploma Programmecourses and found a high degree of alignment with standards for college‐readiness.

• •IB standards address key cognitive strategies(critical thinking, intellectual inquisitiveness and interpretation skills) that have been identified by college instructors as necessary for college success.

Colleges recognize the value of an IB education

• The average acceptance rate of IB students into university/college is22% higher than the average acceptance rate of the total population.

• The acceptance rate of IB students into Ivy League institutions (Princeton, Yale, Brown, Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, University of Pennsylvania) is between 3% and 13% higher compared to the total population acceptance rate.

• College Credit• Varies – 25 ‐30 credits, sophomore standing

IB students more likely to succeed in college

A 2010 study that looked at performance on IB exams and college GPA of over 1500 IB students enrolled in the University of California system found:• IB students earned higher GPAs and graduated at higher rates than a matched comparison group. This held across all family income levels.• Performance in the Diploma Programme was the strongest predictor of college GPA.

Diploma Year 2015 – 7.5% did not earn diploma (Traditional + Gifted) 3 students – scores too low 6 students – did not complete all requirements

Students participating in the traditional IB Diploma Program are not representative of school population. Example, Class of 2016

Challenges, Continued…• Workload associated with IB Diploma Program • 9th and 10th grade Coursework not fully aligned with IB requirements

• Example: Research Skills required for Extended Essay• Time for IB requirements within school day• IB and AP course alignment/course structure• Staff training, understanding of IB• Options for all students (Sciences, CTE/WaNIC, PE)• Supports for students who struggle with completion
