Kerry,
Thanks so much for the information. At this point, the program is only proposed for grades 6-8. Our high school is 9-12 with a very extensive AP program. High achieving kids will take 1 or 2 AP courses in 10th grade (typically Chemistry and the first year of World History), and go on from there, so I am trying to see how this would all work together.
I think what you are saying is that IB doesn't review any student materials except for 10th graders, so if it was only a 6-8 grade program, there would never really be any way of using the IB organization to measure rigor?
Our district has just spent a huge amount of time and money over the last 2 years to teach differentiated instruction. I just don't see where the extra time and money will come from to implement MSP in a good way will come from.
