Every IB school aspires to live its policies — not just write them. Whether it’s the Assessment Policy, Academic Integrity Policy, or Language Policy, each is designed to guide teaching, learning, and reflection.
But in practice, these documents often remain abstract. Teachers are busy, students are focused on tasks, and coordinators are stretched thin — meaning the alignment between policy and practice can fade over time.
RevisionDojo helps schools close that gap. Through reflection tools, analytics, and shared rubrics, RevisionDojo for Schools transforms IB policy from static documentation into dynamic, lived practice — making implementation visible, measurable, and meaningful.
Why Policy Implementation Often Falls Short
Most IB schools have well-written policies that align with IB philosophy. The challenge isn’t the policy itself — it’s how to integrate it into daily teaching.
Common issues include:
- Policies shared annually but not embedded in practice.
- Inconsistent understanding among staff.
- Difficulty evidencing implementation during IB evaluation.
- Limited time for reflection or monitoring progress.
RevisionDojo turns policies into living systems — connecting classroom data, teacher reflection, and leadership oversight into one framework.
Quick Start Checklist: Linking Policy and Practice with RevisionDojo
- Upload key IB policy frameworks into staff dashboards.
- Design reflection prompts tied to each policy (Assessment, Academic Integrity, Inclusion, Language).
- Align rubrics and templates with policy language.
- Use analytics to monitor implementation across departments.
- Export reports for IB evaluation and self-study.
This process makes policy implementation traceable, visible, and continuously improving.
How RevisionDojo Brings Policy to Life
1. Connecting Policies to Everyday Teaching
Policies often feel removed from the classroom. RevisionDojo integrates them directly into teaching workflows.
For example:
- The Assessment Policy becomes visible through shared rubrics and moderation data.
- The Academic Integrity Policy links to reflection prompts about research ethics and citation.
- The Language Policy connects to feedback analytics showing inclusive communication.
Teachers no longer have to interpret policy abstractly — they live it through their practice.
2. Reflection as a Policy Implementation Tool
Reflection is at the heart of both IB philosophy and effective policy alignment. RevisionDojo enables teachers to complete reflections directly linked to policy areas.
Examples of guided prompts include:
- “How did today’s assessment align with our Assessment Policy?”
- “How am I promoting academic honesty through my feedback?”
- “What strategies did I use to support multilingual learners?”
Coordinators can review reflections to see how teachers internalize and apply policy principles — creating real-time evidence of implementation.
3. Analytics That Track Policy in Action
RevisionDojo turns policy implementation into data. Coordinators can monitor how frequently and effectively teachers engage with each policy area through reflection and practice analytics.
For instance:
- Assessment consistency data demonstrates adherence to the Assessment Policy.
- Reflection engagement on integrity prompts shows awareness of academic honesty.
- Inclusive language analytics reflect progress toward the Language Policy.
These analytics provide concrete, measurable evidence of how policies are enacted across the school.
4. Aligning Department Practice with Whole-School Policy
Policies only work when departments interpret them consistently. RevisionDojo helps coordinators monitor and support alignment across subject groups.
- Department dashboards show how teaching practices reflect policy commitments.
- Feedback analytics identify variations in application.
- Reflection logs capture how teachers adapt policy principles to subject contexts.
This ensures that every department contributes coherently to the school’s IB philosophy — not in isolation, but as part of a shared mission.
5. Evidence for IB Evaluation and Self-Study
During IB evaluation visits, schools must demonstrate how policies are implemented and reviewed. RevisionDojo automates much of this documentation.
Coordinators can instantly export:
- Reflection summaries linked to each policy.
- Analytics showing consistency in assessment, inclusion, or integrity.
- Department reports evidencing policy alignment and progress.
This evidence saves time and provides evaluators with clear, verifiable proof that policies aren’t just written — they’re lived.
Real-World Example: From Policy to Practice
Scenario:
An IB school’s evaluation feedback notes that its Assessment and Inclusion Policies are well-written but lack consistent application in classrooms.
Action Using RevisionDojo:
- The coordinator uploads both policies into staff dashboards.
- Teachers complete reflection prompts after assessments tied to these policies.
- Analytics track engagement and highlight gaps between subjects.
- Department heads lead data-driven discussions to align approaches.
Result:
Reflection engagement rises by 60%, cross-department alignment improves, and evaluators commend the school’s “evidence-based approach to policy integration.”
Building a Culture of Reflective Compliance
RevisionDojo turns compliance into culture. Instead of treating policies as obligations, teachers engage with them as reflective learning tools.
This shift creates:
- Greater teacher ownership of IB philosophy.
- Consistent alignment between classrooms and leadership.
- Clear documentation of professional growth and accountability.
When reflection becomes habitual, policy implementation becomes authentic.
The Four Key IB Policies and How RevisionDojo Supports Them
1. Assessment Policy
- Shared rubrics and moderation analytics ensure fairness and consistency.
- Reflection prompts encourage teachers to evaluate assessment design.
2. Academic Integrity Policy
- Reflection tasks promote ethical thinking and source evaluation.
- Supervisors can monitor integrity awareness through reflection analytics.
3. Language Policy
- Feedback templates emphasize inclusive, multilingual communication.
- Analytics track how teachers scaffold language support in assignments.
4. Inclusion Policy
- Reflection and analytics highlight differentiated instruction practices.
- Coordinators can identify where further support or PD is needed.
Together, these tools make policy enactment measurable, not just theoretical.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can we link multiple policies to the same reflection template?
Yes. Reflection prompts can reference multiple policies simultaneously (e.g., linking Assessment and Integrity Policies for IA reflections).
2. Does RevisionDojo support collaborative policy review?
Absolutely. Coordinators can host reflection cycles for staff to evaluate and update policies collectively, creating living documents.
3. How do analytics support IB evaluation evidence?
Data summaries demonstrate how policies are applied consistently across the school, addressing Standards A and B2 directly.
4. Can new staff access policies easily?
Yes. Each teacher’s dashboard includes embedded policy references and reflection templates for onboarding and professional learning.
Practical Tips for Coordinators
- Integrate policies into daily planning: Encourage teachers to connect policies with unit design and reflection.
- Use analytics in policy review meetings: Discuss trends rather than anecdotal impressions.
- Celebrate alignment success: Recognize departments demonstrating strong policy implementation.
- Model reflection: Coordinators should complete their own leadership reflections tied to IB Standards.
- Keep policies living: Update reflection prompts annually to reflect school growth.
RevisionDojo ensures that policy work stays connected to practice — and practice reflects philosophy.
