A new Programme Development Plan (PDP) for the family of schools that is implemented during the 2024-2025 school year. The plan should be submitted to IB World by December 1, 2024.

The PDP should define the goals of the learning community and present a timeline, and actionable steps needed to achieve these goals. The PDP also outlines the activities and actions needed to achieve learning and progression for each student. The PDP looks at approaches to learning in all eight subjects and what progression looks like from grades 6-10. This PDP is in addition to the school planning process that is required of all schools in BC through the School Act. 

The District estimates $8,532 (at minimum) is needed for program development and the necessary release time needed to do this work. 

Program Development Plan Costs

Note:  This calculation is based on release time for the IB coordinators for each school to develop the plan. Additional time and costs may be incurred if subject heads and teachers join the development process, which is best practice.
