Student success in the Diploma Programme depends on successfully writing Internal Assessments (IA's) and External Assessments. Internal Assessments count for up to 35% of the student's total IB grade and include Math Investigations, Language and Literature Written Tasks, and Economics Commentaries, among others. External Assessments are the "papers" or exams that students take in May. Once students submit the IA's to the IB's assessment website, and once they finish writing their External Assessment papers in May, what happens to them? Thousands of external examiners from around the world grade the papers that are sent to them electronically and downloaded from the IB's websites. External Examiners undergo extensive training from the IB in order to be qualified to mark these assessments.
​
Here at AISL, we are lucky enough to have six external examiners on staff. Jeff Redman examines the Theatre Research Presentation Internal Assessment. Becky Oliver examines the Higher Level (HL) Literature Individual Oral Commentary (IOC) and the HL Literature Paper 2. Michael Ryan is an examiner for HL Literature Paper 1 , and the HL and SL Literature Written Assignment. Ken Hoffman examines History Extended Essays. 
Lionel Honnorat is an examiner for French Ab initio Paper 1 and Florence Bouillot examines French B HL Paper 2. In addition, Kevin Frederick is a co-author of a IB Mathematics Higher Level textbook. Because of their training and support from the IB, these teachers are highly qualified instructors. Being an examiner for the IB also means that these staff members can share best practices from their subject area directly with our students!
