High School Chemistry Continued Professional Development workshop

The high school continued professional development workshop for the chemistry group was held by the group leader, Mr. HaoSun, on October 19th. An overview of the methods used to assess the implementation of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program and measure its success in achieving its stated objectives was clarified by Ms. Hao Jiang. The method of assessment used by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) was first explained: the method of assessment judges students’ work by their performance in relation to identified assessment criteria. The new assessment model uses five sets of criteria to assess the final report of the individual investigation assigned: Personal engagement, Exploration , Analysis, Evaluation, and Communication. One point emphasized by Mr. Hao Sun was the development of a student’s personal interest. Guided by their interest, students are able to explore the topic and are motivated to do further research. At last, the four group leaders shared their experiences in using the blackboard system. How to use blackboard more efficiently was well discussed. The Chemistry group encourages teachers to use the blackboard system to stimulate teaching and learning.
