Multi-Programme Evaluation
What is the evaluation?
Programme evaluation is the primary means of ensuring that schools are meeting the IB programme
standards and practices. This process can also serve as a catalyst for school improvement.
The aim of programme evaluation is to:
●evaluate the extent to which the school is meeting the programme standards and practices
●improve implementation by identifying strengths and weaknesses, and determining areas for future
focus
●serve as a vehicle to reinforce the support and commitment for the programme from all stakeholders in
the community.
It is expected that schools strive to continually improve the quality of their programme implementation through an
ongoing commitment to meet all the standards, practices and programme-specific requirements.
Evaluation Procedures
Schools complete a self-study process assessing their implementation of IB standards and practices
and gathering evidence to support their assessment. The IB evaluates that evidence and provides
feedback to the school.
The programme standards and practices:
●set the foundation of what it means to be an IB World School starting with the authorization
process
●are expected to be developed and implemented, fully understood and integrated into school
processes at the time of programme evaluation
●provide a set of criteria against which both the IB World Schools and the IB can evaluate
success in the implementation of IB programmes.
