For any IB school, evaluation and authorization are pivotal moments — opportunities to showcase excellence, demonstrate alignment with the IB philosophy, and reflect on growth. But preparing for these visits can be overwhelming.
Coordinators must compile evidence for multiple standards, track data across departments, and ensure that every teacher’s practice reflects IB values. Often, this process consumes months of time that could otherwise be spent improving teaching and learning.
That’s where RevisionDojo changes everything. By consolidating analytics, reflections, and policy evidence into one organized system, RevisionDojo for Schools empowers IB schools to approach evaluation and authorization with confidence, clarity, and collaboration.
Why Evaluation Preparation Feels Overwhelming
IB evaluation and authorization processes require schools to provide evidence across Standards A–C, covering philosophy, leadership, teaching, and assessment.
Common challenges include:
- Evidence scattered across platforms or spreadsheets.
- Inconsistent teacher reflection records.
- Difficulty demonstrating policy implementation.
- Limited visibility for coordinators and leadership teams.
RevisionDojo addresses these issues by making every reflection, rubric, and piece of data serve as automatic evaluation evidence — saving time and ensuring accuracy.
Quick Start Checklist: Preparing for IB Evaluation with RevisionDojo
- Activate school-wide reflection dashboards.
- Tag reflections and data by IB Standard and Practice.
- Review analytics dashboards to identify strengths and gaps.
- Compile auto-generated evidence reports.
- Facilitate staff reflection meetings to discuss progress and priorities.
This structured process replaces stress and guesswork with confidence and clarity.
How RevisionDojo Streamlines Evaluation and Authorization
1. Standards-Aligned Reflection and Tagging
Every reflection in RevisionDojo — whether from teachers, students, or coordinators — can be tagged to specific IB Standards and Practices.
For example:
- A teacher reflection on assessment design aligns with C4.2 (Assessment supports learning).
- A policy implementation reflection aligns with B2.3 (Professional development supports IB philosophy).
- A coordinator reflection on collaboration aligns with A1 (The school’s philosophy aligns with the IB mission).
This means schools can automatically collect authentic, standards-aligned evidence simply through daily reflection.
2. Analytics Dashboards That Visualize Readiness
RevisionDojo’s dashboards give coordinators a bird’s-eye view of progress across the school.
They can instantly see:
- Reflection participation rates by department.
- Strengths and gaps for each IB Standard.
- Trends in ATL, Learner Profile, and assessment consistency.
This real-time visibility allows coordinators to identify where improvement is needed — long before the evaluation visit.
3. Centralized Evidence Repository
Gone are the days of searching emails or spreadsheets for documentation. RevisionDojo automatically stores and organizes all evidence in one location, categorized by Standard and Practice.
Types of evidence include:
- Teacher and student reflections.
- Assessment rubrics and feedback analytics.
- Policy implementation logs.
- Professional development participation data.
This organization ensures every piece of evidence is traceable, up to date, and ready for IB evaluators to review.
4. Collaborative Reflection and Policy Alignment
Evaluation is not just about compliance — it’s about culture. RevisionDojo helps schools foster reflective conversations that demonstrate the IB mission in action.
- Teachers complete guided reflections linked to school policies.
- Department heads review and comment on reflections to align understanding.
- Coordinators lead cross-department reflection sessions using analytics.
This builds a collaborative narrative of growth — exactly what evaluators want to see.
5. Auto-Generated Reports for Self-Study
Preparing the self-study report is one of the most time-intensive parts of evaluation. RevisionDojo automates much of this work.
Schools can export:
- Reflection summaries by Standard.
- Analytics reports by department or program.
- Graphs showing reflection participation and evidence coverage.
- Exemplars of practice linked to policies.
These reports form a ready-to-use foundation for the IB self-study, reducing preparation time by up to 70%.
Real-World Example: Turning Evidence Chaos Into Clarity
Scenario:
An IB school preparing for its five-year evaluation found that evidence was spread across shared drives, individual teacher folders, and paper binders.
Action Using RevisionDojo:
- Coordinators imported rubrics, policies, and reflection templates into the platform.
- Teachers began tagging reflections to specific Standards.
- Analytics identified gaps in ATL reflection and assessment consistency.
- The leadership team used reports to guide pre-evaluation discussions.
Result:
The school completed its self-study two months early, improved staff confidence, and received commendation for “systematic evidence management and reflective practice.”
How RevisionDojo Supports Each IB Standard
Standard A: Philosophy
- Reflection templates align with the IB mission and Learner Profile.
- Analytics demonstrate how philosophy is reflected in teaching and learning.
Standard B: Organization
- Coordinator reflections provide evidence of leadership and resource management.
- PD tracking aligns with B2 (Professional development supports IB philosophy).
Standard C: Curriculum
- Assessment rubrics, ATL tracking, and Learner Profile analytics demonstrate implementation.
- Moderation dashboards evidence consistency across teaching and assessment.
By linking data directly to IB frameworks, schools can easily demonstrate alignment with all three Standards.
The Benefits for the Whole School
