IB Coordinator Message
|
November 2022: In light of the changes to the MYP program in fall 2022, MYP CAS requirement deadlines are currently suspended while Myers Park administration evaluates how best to support the increased number of students who need access to CAS opportunities.
Welcome to the 2022-2023 Academic year! We are excited to begin the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) journey with you. Service as Action is an important part of the IB experience and this handbook/website will serve as a reference point for you throughout the year. Please make sure that you carefully read this handbook/website and ask questions of the IB Coordinator to ensure you understand the requirements, as I will serve as your SA Coordinator. Managebac is the online system we use to "manage" all aspects of your IB experience, including SA (9th and 10th grade) and the Personal Project (10th grade). Managebac will allow you to record your SA experiences, conduct your reflections, and get supervisor approval and feedback. Please ensure you check Managebac regularly. Ramifications from the Covid-19 pandemic continue to provide challenges for us and updates will be posted in the messages section of Managebac. Please note that you should follow safety protocols and know you are welcome to complete SA experiences virtually if you wish. You may use the document to the right (a hyperlinked PDF document) or this website to learn about the requirements for CAS. One of the reasons that I love SA is that you are able to link your learning in your subjects to real-world experiences. I love hearing the stories of your being able to learn and grow in your knowledge and skills. SA allows you to develop as a whole person in allowing you to develop self-awareness and a sense of identity as well as foster international-mindedness. Remember that SA is an expectation of the IB DP Programme. I look forward to reading and hearing of your SA experiences. If, after you've reviewed the SA handbook/website, you still have questions regarding SA, don't hesitate to reach out. Sincerely, Ms. Willett and the MPHS IB Community |
