IB Workshops at JFK for the DP/Talleres IB para el DP en el JFK

On November 17th, JFK invited two external IB Workshop leaders from the IBEN Network to provide the workshop "Extended Essay in Focus" to all of our Extended Essay supervisors.  Allison Navas who came from Peru and Leonor Álvarez from Ecuador gave the workshops in English and Spanish. These workshops allowed our supervisors to align and deepen their understanding of the Extended Essay to have better tools to support our students.

The extended essay is a compulsory, externally assessed piece of independent research into a topic chosen by the student and presented as a formal piece of academic writing. It is one of the culminating experiences for the Diploma Programme. The extended essay is intended to promote high-level research and writing skills, intellectual discovery and creativity while engaging students in personal research. Students are guided through the process of research and writing by an assigned supervisor.

El 17 de noviembre, el JFK invitó a dos talleristas IB externos de la red de IBEN a impartir el taller "La Monografía en Primer Plano" a todos nuestros supervisores de Monografía. Allison Navas que vino de Perú y Leonor Álvarez de Ecuador impartieron los talleres en inglés y español. Estos talleres permitieron a nuestros supervisores alinear y profundizar su comprensión de la monografía para tener mejores herramientas para apoyar a nuestros alumnos.

La monografía es una investigación independiente obligatoria y evaluada externamente sobre un tema elegido por el alumno y presentado como un escrito académico formal. Es una de las experiencias culminantes del Programa de Diploma. La monografía tiene como objetivo promover habilidades de investigación y escritura de alto nivel, el descubrimiento intelectual y la creatividad al tiempo que involucra a los alumnos en la investigación personal. Un supervisor es designado para guiar a los alumnos a través del proceso de investigación y redacción.
