**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 - Students as lifelong learners.

Lifelong Learners 1:  Students actively develop thinking, research, communication, social and self-management skills.

  • Conversations with students and classroom observations show that learners identify and foster healthy relationships, an understanding of shared responsibility, and the ability to collaborate effectively.
