*after essay has been submitted, DO THE FOLLOWING:

Complete your supervisor's comments in ManageBac if you can vouch for the student's entire process. If there is any question about the authenticity of the product or questions about the student's lack of evidence throughout the process, see Ms. Snow. See the Video for a refresher. Timesheets will not go through if this step is not complete.

Once you fill out your brief reflection, indicate hours spent with the student (3-5), and fill out the form to share the predicted score with the IB office. This video shows how to add your final reflection comments and access the survey (far right).  


Please complete this before you leave Winter Break.
