A few things
you might be wondering.
How does SparkSchool AI help IB teachers?
SparkSchool AI helps teachers in the International Baccalaureate’s Primary Years, Middle Years, Diploma and Career-related Programmes plan concept-based, inquiry-led learning. Teachers name the programme, subject or transdisciplinary theme, key and related concepts and statement of inquiry, and SparkSchool drafts provocations, factual, conceptual and debatable questions, investigation activities and reflection routines linked to approaches to learning. For assessment, teachers paste the relevant MYP subject-group criteria or DP assessment objectives, and SparkSchool drafts formative tasks and task-specific clarifications around them. Differentiated versions support multilingual classrooms and learners who need more scaffolding. Every draft is reviewed by the teacher against the current IB subject guide. SparkSchool AI costs nothing to start, Pro costs $7 a month, or $5 a month billed annually, and it supports planning with IB context; it is not authorised or endorsed by the International Baccalaureate Organization.
How does SparkSchool support concept-based units?
Give the unit’s key concept, related concepts and statement of inquiry. SparkSchool drafts learning experiences that move from facts to transferable understanding, and suggests questions that keep the inquiry open.
Can it help with MYP criteria and DP assessment?
Paste the relevant MYP subject-group criteria (A–D) or the DP assessment objectives, and SparkSchool drafts formative tasks and task-specific clarifications around them. Check them against the current IB subject guide, which authorised schools access through the IB.
Is SparkSchool an IB-approved resource?
No. SparkSchool supports planning with IB context you provide; it is not authorised or endorsed by the International Baccalaureate Organization.
