11 IB SITE VISIT What is it? Teachers from other schools come to evaluate the job we are doing. They give us commendations (good job!) and recommendations (how to improve). Last year, we did student surveys to help see what you felt, and we have worked to improve some of those items. When is it? The second week in December What will happen? Members of the team will walk around the school and observe in classes, just like Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Jones do now. The team will also meet with students, teachers, principals, and even parents. They may talk to you in class or in the halls about Coastal. What might they ask you? What is the global context in one of your classes? How do you participate in community and service? What arts class are you taking? What is the best part of being at Coastal? Do you plan on going to IB at Johnson? Do your teachers use rubrics to give you feedback? 11
