As we all know, our courses are always a work in progress and always something we can develop, refine and extend. Wherever you are in your CP journey, time spent on connecting the core and giving students explicit opportunities to explore this, is never wasted.</p><p>With this in mind, let&#39;s take the theme of <strong>&#39;connection&#39; </strong>and the learner profile attribute of <strong>Balanced.</strong> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><div class="box"><h5>Let&#39;s design the PPS course to make far more explicit and deliberate connections between the career-related studies, the DP courses and the core elements.</h5></div><p>It is not about designing a framework that makes the connections for students but creating a framework that allows them to make connections themselves.

This is very much intended as embracing all PPS themes in some way but you may want to zoom in on one in particular. It certainly makes for a good introduction to Personal Development which can be revisited throughout their CP journey.</p><p>This activity is not focused on language proficiency but about the way we use and change the we speak for particular people and environments. Taking inspiration from a fascinating BBC podcast called Deeply Human, students can consider the broad question of why people speak the way they do, and how this develops and changes over time. Thrown in as well are some opportunities for active listening and communication skills development. Also provided is a transcript of the podcast with soundbytes from experts which can be activators for whole class discussion.</p><div class="index-list"><div class="item"><div class="bg-cover cover-96" onclick="window.location='/ibcp/page/43967/language-development-and-pps'" style="background-image: url('/media/ib/ibcp/translation-4620781_640(1).jpg')" title="Language development and PPS"></div><div class="content"><h4 class="head"><a href="ibcp/page/43967/language-learning-and-intercultural-understanding" title="3.

Academic Integrity is also an area that all stakeholders need refreshing about every year so ensuring that Core, DP and CRS staff are up to speed with what malpractice can look like and what to do if they are suspect issues, is crucial. In addition to this, <strong>2020 has thrown many challenges at us; adapting to ensure that academic integrity is not compromised by the new ways we have had to teach and learn is just yet another. </strong></p><p>Advice released on the 20<sup>th &nbsp;</sup>October<sup data-footnote-id="jap3a"><a class="scroll-to" data-target="footnote-3" id="footnote-marker-3-1" rel="footnote">[3]</a></sup> and 3rd November by the IB<sup data-footnote-id="j7ede"><a class="scroll-to" data-target="footnote-4" id="footnote-marker-4-1" rel="footnote">[4]</a></sup> gives clarification of changes to assessment for M21 and N21 sessions as well as core specific guidance for the CP. Such literature indicates a reality of moving core teaching and learning online and carried out remotely; <strong>conversations with different centres have illustrated successes and setbacks in such a process but certainly what unites everyone is a commitment to make it work. </strong></p><p>Interestingly, in the core guidance it is the reflective project area that needs arguably more attention. It details the need here for supervision to move remotely and how this can be carried out. Remember the role of the supervisor is to witness the reflective project process in a way that they can verify that the work is the student&rsquo;s own authentic research and exploration. It might be that remote supervision calls for supervisors to<strong> pay close attention to comparing previous work </strong>with current work to check that the student&rsquo;s work is consistently progressing without anomalies. <strong>Certainly, it is also sensible to ask students to provide excerpts and evidence of the research they have done to confirm not only the amount of work they have done but also how they have used it.</strong></p><p>It remains that the supervisor&rsquo;s key role is to ask good open questions that guides students into getting the most out of the reflective project so the more the student feels they can interact in as natural way as possible with their supervisor the better; <strong>making real use of a shared online RSS &ndash; essentially a journal &nbsp;with vlogs, blogs, photos, videos, comments, questions, extended reflections can make the job of tracking the student&rsquo;s reflective project process a lot easier and also more enjoyable.</strong> Arguably it establishes a use for the Research and Reflection Space in a far more authentic and useful way than is often utilized by students in &lsquo;normal&rsquo; times. <strong>Many centres also use plagiarism software which can be really helpful but obviously results need to be scrutinized and not taken at face value.</strong></p><p>The reality remains that in tough times such as this, students and parents may feel tempted to access outside tuition and guidance &ndash; especially if they perceive the support network has not been effectively establish by school. This is a very tricky area and essentially compromised academic integrity.</p></div></div></div></div><div class="panel-footer" style="background-color: rgba(7, 103, 124, 0.1);"><div><p>text</p></div></div></div><section class="footnotes"><header><h2>Footnotes</h2></header><ol><li data-footnote-id="6thgz" id="footnote-1"><a class="scroll-to" data-target="footnote-marker-1-1">^</a> <cite>https://resources.ibo.org/ib/psp/Standards-and-Practices/works/edu_11162-51685?&amp;root=1.6.2.10.5</cite></li><li data-footnote-id="xvkdx" id="footnote-2"><a class="scroll-to" data-target="footnote-marker-2-1">a</a>, <a class="scroll-to" data-target="footnote-marker-2-2">b</a> <cite>Career-related Programme Coordinator notes: December 2020</cite></li><li data-footnote-id="jap3a" id="footnote-3"><a class="scroll-to" data-target="footnote-marker-3-1">^</a> <cite>Supporting Guidance for CP Schools M21 and N21: On the Completion fo the CP Core&nbsp;</cite></li><li data-footnote-id="j7ede" id="footnote-4"><a class="scroll-to" data-target="footnote-marker-4-1">^</a> <cite>Information and/or support for the May and November 2021 examination sessions</cite></li></ol></section></section></article><section id="media-extras"><div class="page-actions no-print navbar inline hidden-desktop"><div class="navbar-inner"><ul class="nav"><li><a class="presentation"  href="#" onclick="return false;"><i class="fa fa-desktop"></i></a></li><li><a class="print-section-blog"  href="#" onclick="return false;"><i class="fa fa-print"></i></a></li><li><a class="personal-notes"  href="#" onclick="return false;"><i class="fa fa-file-text"></i></a></li><li class="dropdown"><a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" data-target="#" href="#"><i class="fa fa-share-alt"></i></a><ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu"><li><a class="" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/share?text=%22CP+matters%22+-+via+%40InThinker+%23ibcp%0A&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkib.net%2Fibcp%2Fpage%2F37126%2Fcp-matters"><i class="fa fa-twitter-square"></i><span>Twitter</span></a></li><li><a class="" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkib.net%2Fibcp%2Fpage%2F37126%2Fcp-matters&t=CP+matters"><i class="fa fa-facebook-square"></i><span>Facebook</span></a></li><li><a class=""  href="http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkib.net%2Fibcp%2Fpage%2F37126%2Fcp-matters"><i class="fa fa-linkedin-square"></i><span>LinkedIn</span></a></li><li><a class=""  href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkib.net%2Fibcp%2Fpage%2F37126%2Fcp-matters"><i class="fa fa-google-plus-square"></i><span>Google +</span></a></li><li><a class=""  href="mailto:?subject=CP matters&amp;body=Relevant CP tips and tricks for coordinators and CP teachersHere you will topical chat and news about all things CP; from detailed tips on what the standards and practices look like in real life to monthly focus on timely...%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkib.net%2Fibcp%2Fpage%2F37126%2Fcp-matters"><i class="fa fa-envelope"></i><span>Email</span></a></li></ul></li><li><a class=""  href="ibcp/teaching-materials"><i class="fa fa-puzzle-piece colored"></i></a></li></ul></div></div><div style="border-top: solid 1px #eee;border-bottom: solid 1px #eee;padding: 4px 0 4px 0;line-height: 1em;color: #666;font-size: .8em"><small><em>All materials on this website are for the exclusive use of teachers and students at subscribing schools for the period of their subscription.
