Academic Integrity – IB
Academic integrity in teaching, learning and assessment serves to promote personal integrity and upholds respect for others and the integrity of their work. In the IB, academic integrity is a key part of striving to be Principled, an attribute of the IB learner profile (International Baccalaureate Organization [IBO], 2013). It also helps to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they acquire during their studies. All students must avoid any form of academic misconduct and teachers should be ambassadors to promote good practice and demonstrate academic integrity.
This policy aims to:
• clarify and define academic integrity
• provide detail of the procedures followed in upholding academic integrity and dealing with academic misconduct
• outline the consequences and penalties for academic misconduct in the Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme
• ensure that appropriate documentation is provided to meet IB and College requirements.
