1. PSYCHOLOGY-SPECIFIC PEDAGOGY & DIFFERENTIATION
1.1 Classroom & Learning Environment

1.2 Diagnostic Assessment & Differentiated Instruction
• To conduct initial diagnostic assessments of students' prior psychology knowledge (e.g., familiarity with psychological approaches, research methods, critical thinking skills).
• To design differentiated learning pathways for students with varying levels of prior exposure to psychology within the same IB DP classroom.

2. ARTICULATION WITH CHINESE NATIONAL CURRICULUM (CNC)
• To map IB DP Psychology requirements against prior CNC learning in relevant subjects (e.g., Biology, Moral Education, Health Education, Sociology where applicable).
• To develop bridging units that help students transfer CNC-acquired knowledge (e.g., brain structure from Biology, mental health awareness from Moral Education) into IB DP Psychology contexts.
• To collaborate with CNC teachers (e.g., Biology, Moral Education) to identify gaps and align terminology and conceptual understanding across curricula.
3. ASSESSMENT & DATA-INFORMED INSTRUCTION
3.1 Formative & Summative Assessment Design

• To design summative assessments including mock Papers 1, 2, and 3, and complete IA moderation preparation.
3.2 Data Tracking & Exam Preparation
• To track student progress using IB DP grade descriptors and assessment criteria.
• To use assessment data to identify patterns (e.g., weakness in command terms, study evaluation skills, research method application) and reteach accordingly.
• To manage IA submission timelines and ensure portfolio completeness.
GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES
• To contribute to the wider school community by supporting psychology-related events, wellbeing initiatives, academic showcases, and house activities.
• To be professionally consistent with the school's mission and values.
