There are pages for students to make Global Connections and record Lines of Inquiry, as well as, some blank pages you can edit to meet your own classroom needs. You might want to consider using these extra pages as a motivator for students to share ideas and global connections they have found or make on their own outside of the classroom.
There are two versions of this passport and both are editable! The updated version is a PowerPoint file allows for a bit more customization and already has text boxes for you to personalize this passport to match your IB units of study. You can pre-type your Central Ideas and Lines of Inquiry or you can print a blank version and have your students fill these in themselves.
You have several different printing options. This passport includes Transdisciplinary Theme icon stamps that you can print and students can cut and glue them into their passports as you complete each unit. Or you can have students illustrate their own icon stamp that symbolizes your particular central idea if you prefer. There is also a version that allows you to pre-print with the icons already on the page. It's totally up to you!
NOTE: To add the picture to the PDF version you must have the most recent version of Adobe Reader (XI).

The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
To be honest I think this mission statement is true for most educators. I am pretty sure that most of us who go into education desire to develop "inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect."
We have an IB program in our district and it is wonderful!
