In April this year, Shanghai MacDuffie Bilingual High School received the final results of the IB five-year review.

在办学过程中，上海美达菲双语高级中学始终高标准、严要求，确保自己的专业标准与操作严格符合IBO的各项要求，坚持严谨的学术态度，为学生提供多元包容、专业可靠的教学环境。
In the teaching process, the school has always adhered to high standards and strict requirements to ensure that the school's professional standards and operations meet the requirements of IBO, in addition, adhered to a rigorous academic attitude, and provide students with a diverse, inclusive, professional and reliable teaching environment.
在这次的IB评审中，有两点值得我们特别自豪。其一是我校提交的所有自评分数得到了评审组的完全同意，这表明上海美达菲学校对IB的教学标准以及国际文凭组织的理念有着非常精准、透彻的理解；其二是在疫情停课以及线上教学活动中，评审组认为我校的应对措施表现得非常灵活，应变力非常强。
There are two things we are particularly proud of in this IB review. One is that all the self-assessment scores submitted by our school were fully agreed upon by the accreditation team, which shows that Shanghai MacDuffie School has a precise and thorough understanding of the IB teaching standards and the concept of the International Baccalaureate Organization. The second is that the accreditation team believed that our school's response to the epidemic quarantine and online teaching activities were very flexible and resilient.
IBO 对我校办学投入、办学理念的肯定更加坚定了我们为学生提供专业国际课程的信心，上海美达菲必将持之以恒地为贯彻IB教学理念，给学生持续提供更高质量、更高水平的国际课程。
The IBO's affirmation of our school's investment and school-running philosophy has strengthened our confidence in providing professional and international courses for students. Shanghai MacDuffie will continue to implement the IB teaching philosophy and to provide students with higher-quality and higher-level international courses.

IB课程世界青睐
IB courses are favored by the world
IB（International Baccalaureate），中文也叫国际文凭大学预科课程。它不以世界上任何一个国家的课程体系为基础，而是广泛吸收各发达国家的课程优势，以国际统一标准安排课程。含金量较高，受到世界高校以及教育的普遍认可。
IB is also called the International Baccalaureate Foundation Course. It is not based on the curriculum system of any country in the world, but widely absorbs the curriculum advantages of various developed countries and arranges courses according to international unified standards. At the same time, it has a high degree of recognition and is generally recognized by universities and education around the world.
IB课程旨在培养均衡全面均衡发展的人才，课程设计十分重视过程训练，强调分析解决实际问题，学生综合素质的培养。
The IB curriculum aims to cultivate well-rounded and balanced talents. The curriculum design attaches great importance to process training, emphasizes analyzing and solving practical problems, and pays attention to the cultivation of students' comprehensive quality.
IB课程培养出来的学生，在创造力、辩证思维、独立思考、实践行动能力上都有不俗的表现。有相关研究显示，学习IB课程的学生相比起其他学生进入世界顶级学府的可能性更高，并且这些学生的学习成绩更加稳定，进入大学后的表现也通常优于其他学生。
The students who studied IB courses always have good performance in creativity, dialectical thinking, independent thinking, and practical ability. Studies have shown that students who study IB courses are more likely than other students to enter the world's top universities, and these students have more stable academic performance and generally outperform other students after entering university.
英国的所有大学几乎都认可IB文凭，美国、加拿大的大部分知名学府也将IB文凭作为考查学生入学条件的重要标准。现在的IB课程正在获得世界各地越来越多学生与高校的青睐。
Almost all universities in the UK recognize the IB diploma, and most of the well-known universities in the United States and Canada also use the IB diploma as an important criterion for examining the admission requirements of students. The IB curriculum is now being favored by more and more students and universities around the world.

IB授权有多严？How strict is IB authorization?
想要申请成为一所IB授权学校需经过层层严格审核，首先必须满足IB项目实施方面需要满足的两类基本条件，一是IB列出的必须做到的要求，二是IB需要看到申请学校已经有计划地去达到某些要求。
Applying to become an IB-authorized school needs to go through layers of strict review. Two basic requirements must meet for the implementation of the IB program. One is the requirements listed by the IB, and the other is that the IB needs to see that the applicant school has planned to meet certain requirements.
对于实施IB项目，IB官方提出了四大方面供申请学校参考，分别是办学使命（Philosophy）、组织管理与结构（Organization）、课程设置（Curriculum）和教学评估体系（Assessment），并且每个IB项目都要经过独立测评。
For the implementation of the IB project, the IB official put forward four aspects for the reference of the schools applying, which are Philosophy, Organization, Curriculum, and Assessment, and each IB program must be independently assessed.
也就是说，学校要在办学使命&教育理念、组织架构、师资力量&授课技能、学校硬件设施和课程体系上完全符合标准才可获得授权，从申请到授权视学校申请时间与申请课程的差异通常需要2-4年的时间。但是即使成功成为了IB学校，也并不意味着万事大吉。学校需要一直接受IB的监管，并且每隔五年就要再进行一次评估审核，只有顺利通过审核、达到了IB课程的认知标准才能继续保留学校的授权资格。
That is to say, the school must fully meet the standards in terms of school mission, educational philosophy, organizational structure, faculty, teaching skills, school hardware facilities, and curriculum system to obtain authorization. From application to school authorization, it usually takes 2-4 years, depending on the difference between the school's application time and the application course. But even successfully becoming an IB school doesn't mean everything is fine. Schools need to be under the supervision of the IB all the time, and an assessment review is carried out every five years. Only after successfully passing the audit and meeting the cognitive standards of the IB curriculum can the school's authorization status be retained.
正因为有授权标准的层层把关，繁琐的审核复查程序，世界各地的IB学校才能保证较为一致的课程教学，保持高水准的教学质量。
It is precisely because of the layer-by-layer checks of authorization standards and the cumbersome review process that IB schools around the world can ensure more consistent curriculum teaching and maintain a high level of teaching quality.

上海美达菲的 IB 教师资源IB Teacher Resources at Shanghai Macduffie
IB课程学习的好坏与教师的教学素质息息相关，我们国内教学资源丰富，提供IB课程的学校不少，但大部分学校的成绩并不算高。其中最为重要的一点就是因为来自教学资源上的差异——优质的IB课程教师太少。
The quality of IB course learning is closely related to the teaching quality of teachers. IB Teacher Resources in China are abundant, and there are many schools offering IB courses, but most of them do not achieve high results. One of the most important points is the difference in teaching resources, that is, there are few high-quality IB teachers.
许多国际学校在薪资待遇、福利制度、文化包容度上都和很难吸引到优质的外籍教师或者海归教师资源，加上IB课程对教师的学术素质要求极高，而且IB课程系统5年就来一次大变化，需要教师不断学习进取，优秀的IB课程教师一人难求。
Many international schools have difficulty in attracting high-quality foreign teachers or returnee teacher resources in terms of salary, welfare system, and cultural tolerance. Moreover, the IB curriculum system will undergo a major change every 5 years, which requires teachers to continue to learn, so it is difficult to find an excellent IB curriculum teacher.
上海美达菲学校高度重视教师素质在学生发展过程中的重要作用，坚持采用双语授课，校内中外教师比例实现1：1经典配比，海归人才教师占比50%，高学历的硕士及以上教师占比高达80%，能够充分兼顾学生语言能力和学科教学目标，保证教学效果。
Shanghai MacDuffie School attaches great importance to the role of teachers' quality in the development of students, and insists on using the bilingual teaching methods. The ratio of Chinese and foreign teachers in the school achieves a classic ratio of 1:1, of which 50% are returnees , and 80% with a master's degree or above. Therefore, it can fully balance the language ability of students and subject teaching objectives, and ensure the teaching effect.
学校要求：学生在哪里教师就一定在哪里，教学内容必须要开放。高占比的海归教师见识广、眼界开阔，能带领学生更好地适应并学习好国际课程，无论在学术上还是在人生观、价值观上都能给学生较好的指引，让学生既有对中国身份的深切认同，又能具备全球视野。
The school requires that teachers must be wherever students are, and the teaching content must be open. A high proportion of returnee teachers have extensive knowledge and vision, and this can lead students to better adapt to and learn international courses. They can give students better guidance in terms of academics, outlook on life, and values, so that students have both a deep recognition of Chinese identity and a global perspective.
