京西国际学校致力于与NEASC和IB一起学习！

Darlene解释说，NEASC和IB创建CLP的目的是为学校建立一个统一的流程，消除不同组织对多个报告的需求。通过协调重新评估和重新认证的工作，NEASC和IB寻求简化认证流程。CLP还作为一种工具，促进学校内部关于学习、学习质量以及改进和转型方法的深入对话。

Angela补充道，CLP是在过渡时期设计的，当时IB在2020年引入了新的基础课程标准和实践，学校在2021年适应了新的评估模式。CLP的制定是为了有效地引导学校关注学习，在这一过渡阶段提供清晰的信息。
Stephen阐明了WAB接受这一过程的决定，这是由IB和NEASC之间的哲学一致性以及他们对未来方向的共同承诺所驱动的。斯蒂芬说：“我们不想成为一所坐视不管、继续按照我们一贯的方式做事的学校，而是要不断发展。授权和认证途径的演变确实迫使我们保持这种增长心态。”。

In this week's episode, WAB's Director of Innovation in Learning and Teaching, Stephen Taylor, has taken over as host and engaged in a conversation with two special guests from the recent accreditation visit: Darlene Fisher, an International Accreditation Leader for NEASC, and Angela Meikle, Head of International Baccalaureate (IB) World Schools. Together, they explore the development of the Collaborative Learning Protocol and its role in maintaining a strong focus on learning within schools.
Darlene explains that the creation of the CLP by both NEASC and IB is aimed at establishing a unified process for schools, eliminating the need for multiple reports for different organizations. By aligning efforts for reevaluation and reaccreditation, NEASC and IB sought to streamline the accreditation process. The CLP also served as a tool to facilitate deep conversations within schools about learning, its quality, and methods for improvement and transformation. Angela adds that the CLP was designed during a transitional period when the IB introduced new foundational program standards and practices in 2020, with schools adapting to the new evaluation model in 2021. The CLP was developed to effectively direct schools' attention towards learning, providing clarity during this transition phase.
Stephen sheds light on WAB's decision to embrace this process, driven by the philosophical alignment between the IB and NEASC, as well as their shared commitment to future directions. "We don't want to be a school that just sits back and keeps on doing things the way we always do them, but to always keep growing. And this evolution of authorization and accreditation pathways is something that does force that growth mindset," said Stephen.
