Diploma Programme

The development and raising of awareness of Sociocratic methods of organisation will be part of my agenda for this coming academic year. Examples to draw upon this method of organisation are within the DP teachers Leadership team, Advisory team, vertical articulation groups in DP and the working groups within my TOK and History classes.

Extended Essay in History

Results are back regarding the recent EE in History grades and it is clear that criticl analysis and source evaluation are crucial once again. The Dp2014 students produced 3 high B´s and 1 excellent A. The difference was regarding critical analysis and the holisitc grade. This is worth 4 points and to an extent has an element of subjectivity about it. the critical analysis requires joind up thinking and rigorous debate within the essay.
