This is the 7th episode in the series on Becoming an IB School featuring Rockford High School about 40 miles west of Minneapolis, MN.
As you may recall from previous episodes, Rockford is applying simultaneously to become an MYP, DP and a CP school. It’s a big task in any year but it became doubly difficult with the onset of the COVID-19 crisis of 2020.
Local Rockford parent, Maris Ehlers is the host and asks IB coordinator, Dr. Matthew Scheidler questions about the end of the 2020 school year in the time of the Corona virus and she asks about the virtual consultant visits they had this Spring. They also talk about the process of adding official IB policies as required in the IB application process. Dr. Scheidler talks about getting all the stakeholders involved which is the best practice encouraged by IB.
