IB school accreditation and evaluation are about more than ticking boxes — they’re about proving a school’s commitment to reflection, consistency, and continuous improvement. For coordinators, compiling the evidence to demonstrate that commitment can feel overwhelming. From learner data and feedback examples to professional development records, it’s a demanding process that requires organization, clarity, and measurable outcomes.
That’s where RevisionDojo provides a powerful solution. Designed for IB schools, RevisionDojo for Schools centralizes analytics, feedback, and reflection data into one intuitive platform. It transforms the way schools prepare for IB evaluation, making self-study efficient, evidence-rich, and authentically reflective.
Why Self-Evaluation and Accreditation Matter
IB accreditation is more than an administrative process — it’s an opportunity for growth. Self-evaluation allows schools to:
- Reflect on the effectiveness of teaching and learning.
- Assess alignment with IB’s standards and practices.
- Identify areas of strength and improvement.
- Demonstrate how the IB mission is lived in daily practice.
However, collecting and presenting this evidence can take months without structured systems. RevisionDojo streamlines the process by automatically generating much of the data schools need — from reflection engagement to teaching alignment analytics.
Quick Start Checklist: Preparing for IB Evaluation with RevisionDojo
- Activate leadership dashboards: Give coordinators access to all department analytics.
- Define focus areas: Identify IB standards or practices to evidence (e.g., ATL development, consistency in assessment).
- Export reflection data: Gather examples of student and teacher reflection across the curriculum.
- Generate department reports: Use analytics visuals to demonstrate improvement trends.
- Compile evidence portfolios: Export feedback samples, rubrics, and growth metrics for evaluation documentation.
Following these steps saves time and ensures every standard is supported by authentic, data-driven evidence.
How RevisionDojo Simplifies IB Self-Evaluation
1. Centralized Evidence Management
RevisionDojo collects all key data — reflections, assessment analytics, and feedback logs — in one secure space. Coordinators can access:
- Student analytics: Progress trends, ATL growth, and engagement.
- Teacher analytics: Feedback frequency, rubric consistency, and collaboration activity.
- Department reports: Cohort and subject-level improvement evidence.
Instead of scrambling for documents during accreditation cycles, schools can export clean, organized data instantly.
2. Measurable Reflection and ATL Development
Reflection and ATL (Approaches to Learning) are central to IB philosophy — and difficult to measure without consistent tracking. RevisionDojo captures this data automatically through:
- Reflection completion rates.
- Skill progression analytics.
- Learner Profile tagging and engagement metrics.
This data provides concrete evidence of how reflection and skill development are embedded into teaching and learning across the school.
3. Consistency in Assessment and Feedback
IB evaluators look for fairness and alignment in assessment. RevisionDojo’s shared rubrics and moderation analytics demonstrate how schools maintain consistency across teachers and subjects.
- Rubric use: Shows shared criteria and standardized expectations.
- Feedback tone analysis: Demonstrates equity and balance.
- Moderation reports: Highlight calibration processes across departments.
These analytics provide strong evidence for Standards C1 and C4 — ensuring evaluators can see that assessment practices align with IB principles.
4. Teacher Reflection and Professional Development Evidence
RevisionDojo’s teacher reflection tools help schools document how staff engage in continuous improvement. Coordinators can track:
- Reflection participation rates.
- Professional development goals and outcomes.
- Evidence of collaboration and cross-department alignment.
When combined with analytics, this data creates a compelling picture of reflective teaching culture — directly addressing Standards B2 and C3.
5. Continuous Improvement Reporting
Accreditation isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress. RevisionDojo’s year-on-year analytics help schools demonstrate sustained improvement in key areas, including:
- Student performance by command term.
- ATL skill growth.
- Reflection engagement.
- Department alignment and feedback quality.
These reports provide a narrative of growth, showing evaluators that improvement isn’t reactive but continuous and measurable.
Case Example: Streamlining an IB Evaluation Cycle
Scenario:
An IB school is preparing for its five-year evaluation visit and needs to provide evidence for teaching alignment, reflection, and student progress.
Action Using RevisionDojo:
- Coordinators extract analytics from department dashboards showing growth in evaluation and reflection skills.
- Teacher reflections are compiled into an evidence portfolio for Standard C3.
- Rubric consistency data supports Standard C4 on assessment alignment.
- Learner Profile analytics demonstrate holistic student development.
Result:
The school completes its evaluation portfolio in half the usual time, receives positive feedback for data clarity, and adopts RevisionDojo analytics as part of its ongoing monitoring system.
