Assessment IB courses are marked in Levels 1—7 , with levels 5, 6 and 7 being the equivalent of Ontario level 4-, 4 and 4+. In order to report IB marks on an Ontario transcript, the IB Diploma Schools of Ontario Table of Equivalents (ToE) is applied. This scale was developed in conjunction with the IB Schools of Ontario and Ontario Universities. It is very similar to the scale used in B.C. and Alberta. It is important to remember that each IB course has different criteria for assessment. The final IB mark will be based on the final exam and the Internal Assessment (IA) which the students complete during the course. Teachers will apply IB criteria, IB grade descriptors and their understanding of the expectations on the exams in the determination of Predicted Grades (PG). Once Predicted Grades and Internal Assessment Grades have been submitted to IB they cannot be changed.

Internal Assessments All IB courses have Internal Assessment components (IAs) which are completed by the students during the course and marked by teachers. The marks for the IAs are submitted to IB and a selection of IA samples are sent to IB for moderation. The intent of the IA is to provide the students with an opportunity to demonstrate learning through an assignment which is completed within a specific timeline. IAs are designed to reflect the abilities of the students. It is important to remember that these projects are completed by grade 11 and 12 students and are expected to demonstrate work appropriate from a grade 11 or 12 student. The work in an IA is to be completed independently, without help or assistance from the teacher, a tutor or a parent. IAs, especially orals cannot be redone or marked by another teacher once they have been completed and/or handed in.

Predicted Grades In April teachers are required to submit a Predicted Grade (PG) to IB for each student who is writing an Exam in May. The PG is used by IB during the marking cycle in June. A Predicted Grade is a prediction of the mark that the student will achieve in the course. Teachers arrive at the PG by using the IA mark, the results of mock or practice exams and by referring to the Grade Descriptors for each subject. Predicted Grades are a good way for students to assess their strengths and weaknesses in a course and can be very helpful while preparing for the exams. The Predicted Grades and the translated Ontario percentages are recorded on the report cards. The mark for courses with final IB exams in May will be adjusted in July to reflect the final IB mark. Marks for Part 1 of the HL courses and Part 1 of the SL French course (from the grade 11 year) will not be adjusted.

Translated Marks on the Ontario Report Card The Ontario system requires percentage grades. In order to report the IB Levels accurately within the Ontario system, the IB Diploma Schools of Ontario Table of Equivalents is used (see below). In addition, to clarify the IB level, transcripts which reflect the IB Interim Predicted Grades (end of February - grade 12) and Predicted Grades (middle of April - grade 12) are sent to OUAC as part of the marks reporting process for universities. The IB level grades for Grade 12 course credits in grade 11 and for Sem 2 Grade 12 credits in grade 12 are translated in July to reflect the IB level earned and the work done throughout the course which is reflected in the Predicted Grade.

Addressing Plagiarism and the Research Process at Glenforest

All students at GFSS engage in development of research skills based on a continuum of teaching and

reinforcement through the course of their studies over four years.

From Grade 9 onwards, students practice research skills by using the various research tools (books;

databases; i-net; et.al.) available at our school. In classroom assignments and exercises, subject and

library teachers provide many opportunities for students to practice and to cultivate critical research

skills necessary for their future academic success.

A key focus of developing research skills is instructing students how to avoid plagiarism. By the time

students arrive at our school, they know what plagiarism is, but not necessarily how do avoid it. The

majority understand that it is a kind of cheating or copying and that intended plagiarism is unethical.

However, a more subtle understanding of how to use research material in specific contexts is our

ultimate aim. These are some of the questions that we address and that we hope will assist students in

developing this understanding:

How do various cultures view notions of opinion, respect and authority in academic study?

What habits must be practiced in order to incorporate the work of others in an individual

student’s work, such that appropriate credit is given and a clear understanding of an authority’s

work is understood?

What is “general knowledge”? How does this concept differ between academic disciplines and

grades?

How does a researcher assess the authority of a source? What research avenues can be

explored without always having to address this question?

How does a researcher collaborate without copying?

Developing strong research skills is an explicit focus throughout the Ontario and the IB curricula. For IB

students, these skills are practiced in the MYP years, and are demonstrated in the Extended Essay, the

Theory of Knowledge paper, the Written Tasks, the Investigation workbook, and the Mathematics

Internal Assessment (the IA). These all present students with specific challenges, but they are also

opportunities for students to strengthen their research competency and their critical thinking.

Glenforest’s Teacher Librarians are conscious of the research challenges and pressures that face IB

students. For this reason, we have worked to provide frequent support and the tools that will help them

successfully meet IB expectations. Some of these supports are:

The Extended Essay Student Guide

Research seminars

Multiple resources on the Glenforest website

Access to university libraries (UTM; UT Robarts)

Lastly, IB parents and students are always free to discuss concerns around research with Glenforest

teachers, IB coordinators and administration.
