PYP and MYP student performance measured: "The Australian Council for Educational Research, a leading educational research organization, recently released the findings of an IB-commissioned study examining the performance of IB students and non-IB students on the International Schools Assessment (ISA).
On the whole, the results indicate that Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) students performed as well as or better than their non-IB peers across all four ISA assessment domains (math literacy, reading, narrative writing, and expository writing) in a majority of grade levels, with particularly strong differences in grade ten (15-16 years of age) math and expository writing. In addition, IB students’ ISA scores in grades nine (14-15 years of age) and ten compare favorably to PISA benchmarks in math and reading. The study also reviewed MYP moderation results from IB schools participating in the ISA and found that the MYP moderation results align strongly with ISA assessment areas and measure common skills. This finding provides evidence for the validity of the MYP moderation process."

Things that get my attention and get me thinking
In this blog, I will be sharing thoughts about things I see around me, stumble upon or find through hours of hunting on the internet.
I am especially interested in things that inspire us to think more, to ponder, to wonder.
