Tom Brymer, Superintendent Diploma Programme(DP)and Advanced Placement(AP) 2010 Performance Report Westlake Academy Stacy Stoyanoff,Diploma Programme Coordinator Westlake Academy Strategic Plan Desired Outcome of High Student Achievement Specific Outcome: 2,0 Graduate the maximum number of students with an IE Diploma on an annual basis—On-going Goal Team Leader(s): Diploma Program Coordinator 2.1 80%of graduates achieve the IB Diploma by 2015 11.1 Students will achieve at a level that exceeds the national average relative to other IB schools 2.2 90%will test for the complete panel of Diploma Program exams,Estimated Completion Date: Spring, 2011 The May 2010 IB Diploma Programme Statistical Bulletin has not yet been published, so data from the May 2009 IB Diploma Programme Statistical Bulletin is currently being used for comparison in some areas. 87.5%of the 2010 Senior Class sat for the full diploma. This is just below the 2011 strategic plan projection of 90%of all WA students participating in the full diploma program, The DP program should meet or exceed this projection during the 2011 examination session. The 2010 DP students achieved a 57.1%diploma rate,which is below both the WA faculty predictions and the 2009 world statistics. Faculty predictions were based upon student performance within the individual courses. #WA Seniors #WA Diploma Candidates %WA Students Diploma Students #Diplomas Received WA Diploma Rate % Faculty Predicted Diploma Rate(%) 2009 World Diploma Rate(% 2010 24 21 87.5 12 57.1 (12/21) 71.4(15/21) 78.7 87.5%of the 2010 Senior Class sat for the full diploma. This is just below the 2011 strategic plan projection of 90%of all WA students participating in the full diploma program, The DP program should meet or exceed this projection during the 2011 examination session. The 2010 DP students achieved a 57.1%diploma rate,which is below both the WA faculty predictions and the 2009 world statistics. Faculty predictions were based upon student performance within the individual courses. 3) The 2010 DP students had relatively little experience in studying and taking high stakes exams. All DP teachers are expected to give assessments that use the same types of questions and rubrics found in DP assessments. However,this does not directly address how students prepare for high stakes exams based on two years of curriculum. There is a need for more preparation in this area. 4) In retrospect,there was observable distraction or lack of focus by many 2010 DP students throughout the spring semester. This is not unusual for seniors at most high schools,but it must be held in check for DP seniors. Student motivation for DP seniors is a major factor and must be in the forefront of our planning. As we know, DP results are posted well after college acceptance. This creates areal challenge in maintaining student focus and motivation. Asa school,WA faculty and staff must continually find new ways to motivate DP students who are experiencing the pressures of graduation and high stakes assessment. 5) In some areas,we are missing the mark, but this is not uncommon for first year DP teachers. This will be rectified as teachers make adjustments from year to year, The only experienced DP teachers on staff are Mr. Stoyanoff and Ms. Morales, so we have to allow time for the teachers to learn from the feedback provided by IB. In this light,we should continue to evaluate our practices and make changes as needed. Teachers have been made aware of the results and are currently making adjustments for this next academic year. 2010 Diploma Recipients versus Non-recipients 2010 WA Mean WA Mean #of subjects %of students %of students %EE Diploma Points Course Grade passed(out of 6) with 1 or more with 2 or more with C or better Scored scores_<2 scores�2 Diploma 30.6 4.89 5.42 0.00 0.00 75.0 Reci Tents Non-Recipients 19.0 3.07 2.10 78.0 33.0 45.0 %TOK I Mean Bonus with C or better I Points 92.0 1 1.25 45.0 1 0.56 The above table shows a relatively huge performance gap between the DP students who received the diploma and those who did not. The 2010 diploma recipients achieved above the 2009 World statistics in mean diploma points scored,mean course grade, and mean bonus points. The 2010 non-recipients were well below both the 2010 WA diploma recipient and 2009 world statistics. Also,the2010 Diploma recipients on average passed most of their DP course exams,whereas non-recipients on average only passed 2 course exams. In addition, 2010 diploma recipients scored 3 or better on all course exams,whereas non-recipients had a fairly high instance of scoring a 2 or even a 1 within a particular subject area. This performance gap is also evident in both the EE and TOK. It is clear that the majority of 2010 DP students were very successful in earning the diploma,whereas non-recipients simply fell way short of the mark. The reasons stated above help to explain this gap,but we need to realize that every class is different.

This can be achieved through better scheduling of all DP components and extra- curricular activities. Also,we can develop activities that bring DP students together and provide support throughout the year. For example, group CAS projects, extended essay workshops in the summer, and more structured tutoring prior to examination. 5) WA needs to offer more opportunities for DP students to prepare for high stakes exams. We will utilize end of the semester exams as mock exams to identify strengths and weaknesses and predict student performance. Another tool that we have at our disposal to better prepare students for DP exams is the AP. By giving students increased access to supplemental AP exams in earlier grades,we can provide real experience in high stakes examination and in turn better prepare students for DP assessment. All of these recommendations will be addressed at the first DP faculty meeting of the new academic year. As a result,the DP faculty will work to make all necessary adjustments and in turn develop a plan for continuous improvement.

This is also true for AP Macroeconomics,where students achieved an 85.7%pass rate with a 64.3%of the students scoring a 4 or 5. For AP biology, students were just above the national AP averages. This should improve with better test preparation prior to the examination session. WA students did not perform well on AP Calculus AB and AP World History, but these courses were not actively preparing students for the exams. Also,three WA students qualify for AP Scholar(granted to students who receive scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams), This is a great honor for any student, and it will serve well on any college application. AP scholar notifications will come out in September. Based upon these results,there are three recommendations: 1) If we continue to offer AP assessment options,there is a need to better integrate these curricular expectations within WA courses. 2) Also,teachers teaching in these areas need to attend AP training. 3) In addition,WA should further develop a system that prepares students for AP assessment in other areas provided that it does not conflict with the implementation of MYP or DP curricula.
