How does the school integrate IB curriculum frameworks with national education authorities' requirements?

Schools that offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum often aim to strike a balance between the IB frameworks and the requirements set by national education authorities. This integration occurs through a careful alignment of curriculum, assessment, and teaching practices. To integrate the IB curriculum with national requirements, schools may focus on ensuring the coverage of core subjects mandated by the education authorities while also incorporating the IB's transdisciplinary approach and emphasis on international-mindedness. This can be achieved by mapping IB units of inquiry to national curriculum standards and using them as a framework to deliver required content. Additionally, schools may provide professional development opportunities for teachers to gain a better understanding of both the national requirements and the IB curriculum, allowing for effective integration and alignment between the two. Ultimately, this integration allows schools to offer a comprehensive education that combines the benefits of internationally recognized standards with the mandates of national education authorities.
