**IB Primary Years Program Evaluation Report**

For the 22-23 school year, Riffenburgh underwent a rigorous evaluation of our IB program. Our evaluators produced a final report with their findings and we wanted to share some of those findings out to our community! We are highlighting one finding each newsletter. There are several standards of practice that IB looks for when doing an evaluation. Over the next few weeks, we will focus on what they found in the Learning: Ensuring effective education.

Coherent curriculum 2:  Teachers collaborate to design, plan and deliver the school's IB program.

  • The school has established a collaborative planning protocol to facilitate knowledge sharing and reflection.

**Check out more about our IB program through our school website!
