One reason why the organization chose Miami Beach: Since creating the Education Compact in January of 2008, the city government has been committed to turning <b>all</b> of our schools - K - 12 - into IB schools. The goal is that by 2011, all Miami Beach schools will be IB. Often IB is offered at the 9-12 level, less often at the elementary level. And, I believe, we're the first city of have schools with regular feeder patterns, <b>not</b> magnet schools, offer our local students an IB education.<br />
<br />
<br />
So what is an International Baccalaureate program like? You can read more at the <a href="http://www.ibo.org/">organization's website</a>, but a brief description is that IB programs aim to "develop the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world" using best practices.<br />
<br />
Miami Beach offered its residents a chance to join members of the program, local educators, and city officials in a public conversation about the IB program, last Wednesday (July 14). I attended and was impressed by what I saw! Those best practices include what we learn about as we prepare to become educators: assessments through demonstration of knowledge and mastery, teaching through multiple intelligences, active-learning, and student responsibility for work and achievement.
