1 French Program Review West Bay Elementary December, 2015 Overview The purpose of this report is to provide our school community with an overview of the K-7 French program at West Bay Elementary, together with an action plan developed to ensure continuous improvement. The report consists of six sections: I. Context II. Scope and Sequence (Central Ideas/Big Ideas and Learning Standards) III. Instructional Strategies IV. Assessment Information V. Action Plan VI. Ways to Reinforce Language Learning at Home Section 1: Context As an IB World School, French instruction is provided for students from Kindergarten to Grade 7. Each grade receives 90 minutes of French instruction per week. The Ministry recently developed a new Core French Curriculum for Grades 5-7 which includes 6 Big Ideas and Learning Standards at each of the grade levels. The Learning Standards outline what students are expected to know. In light of the new Ministry curriculum documentation which reframes the French curriculum, West Bay staff developed a Scope and Sequence from Kindergarten to Grade 7 to ensure a continuum of learning exists throughout the grades. (Please see Section II.) In November 2015 the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) conducted an evaluation of our IB Primary Years Programme. Programme evaluation is both a requirement of and a service provided by the IBO for all IB World Schools. The purposes of the evaluation are to assess the implementation of the PYP and to assist schools in developing and maintaining a dynamic programme that reflects the philosophy and the programme standards and practices of the IB. In preparation for this evaluation process our staff completed a self-study and developed an action plan. The action items identified that relate to the IB Standards and Practices and specifically pertain to our French Program are: Specialists refer to specific IB Scope and Sequence documents while writing planners and creating the French K-4 scope and sequence, and Administration finds consistent time for specialists to collaborate with IB Coordinator and classroom teachers within the school schedule. 1
2 As a result of information from the IB review combined with the new Ministry curriculum for Grades 5-7, West Bay teachers and administration conducted a further review of our French program and identified additional action items to ensure continuous improvement. (Please see Section V.) Section 2: Scope and Sequence Kindergarten Language facilitates social interaction including routines, play and developing friendships.
