Title: Diverse School Uses IB Program to Raise Achievement
Body: From: http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/enews/2005/0315.htm#IncreasingDiversity In "Increasing Diversity in Challenging Classes," educators Eileen Kugler and Erin Albright describe how high standards for student achievement are upheld in one very diverse suburban high school in Virginia. The school's "2,500 students come from 92 countries, speak more than 45 native languages, and come from a wide range of economic backgrounds" (p. 42). One of the school's objectives has been to develop a school climate that is welcoming of cultural diversity. Another is to raise academic achievement for all students. Strategies the school has taken to meet these goals include the creation of an academic task force of administrators, teachers and community members; and implementation of an International Baccalaureate (IB) program. The IB program includes English, foreign language, history, mathematics, and science "curriculum and assessments that are less culturally biased than those of U.S.-based programs" (p. 43). The school actively encourages most students to enroll in at least one IB class, including students with limited English proficiency. Read Increasing Diversity in Challenging Classes in the February 2005 issue of Educational Leadership (Volume 62, No. 5, pp. 42-45). Educational Leadership is published by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) in Alexandria, Virginia. Selected articles and abstracts are posted online: http://www.ascd.org/readingroom.html
