Examiner-Led Academic Calibration for IB Schools
Lernor works with IB Coordinators and academic leadership to introduce examiner perspective into key decision points across IB programmes, including the PYP, MYP, and Diploma Programme. Support is aligned with the active academic year and current exam-cycle expectations, focusing on assessment interpretation, internal standardisation, and moderation alignment. By reviewing how judgments are made against current IB assessment criteria and grade-boundary expectations, schools can confirm alignment, reduce inconsistency, and strengthen confidence in academic decisions throughout the academic cycle. All engagement operates within existing leadership oversight, preserving teaching practice, departmental authority, and school governance.

IB subject expectations, assessed student work, and performance standards
Insight from Current IB Assessment Practice
This section reflects how assessment expectations across International Baccalaureate programmes—particularly the IB Diploma Programme—are expressed through syllabus intent, subject requirements, and assessment standards applied to student work. The focus is on how learning objectives translate into assessed performance across subjects, components, and grade levels.
Syllabus Intent and Assessed Performance
Alignment between published syllabus aims, objectives, and command terms, and how these are demonstrated in assessed student work across IB subjects.
Subject Criteria and Achievement Levels
Application of subject-specific assessment criteria to distinguish levels of achievement across IB Diploma Programme subjects and assessment components.
Evidence, Understanding, and Academic Quality
Relationship between depth of understanding, use of subject-appropriate evidence, and academic accuracy when differentiating performance across grade bands.
Examiners with Ongoing Assessment and Marking Responsibilities
This training is delivered by examiners who are currently involved in the assessment and marking of IB student work. As a result, the perspectives shared reflect how syllabi, subject criteria, and performance standards are being applied in the present exam cycle—not historical interpretation or theoretical guidance. Schools benefit from insight that is grounded in current assessment realities, including how evidence is weighed, how achievement levels are distinguished, and how expectations are interpreted across subjects. The emphasis remains academic and programme-focused, ensuring that guidance aligns with how IB work is being evaluated now.
Training Designed Around School Academic Cycles
Support is aligned with how IB programmes progress across the academic year, fitting naturally within existing schedules and assessment timelines.
This ensures academic support remains coordinated with the school calendar—without disruption or added load.
Structured Workshop Formats and Engagement Pathways
Workshops are organised into clear formats that support IB programmes across subjects, components, and assessment stages.
Programme-Level Alignment Sessions
Shared understanding of syllabus intent, subject expectations, and assessment standards across IB programmes.
Subject-Specific Calibration Workshops
Focused sessions aligned to individual subjects, criteria, and command terms within the IB framework.
Assessment-Component Focus Sessions
Targeted workshops for coursework, investigations, written tasks, and externally assessed components.
Exam-Cycle and Progression Reviews
Structured reviews aligned to academic milestones, supporting clarity as students move through assessment phases.
Engagements remain precise, contained, and academically focused—designed to support clarity without adding complexity.
