IB requires 50 hours of Design coursework per school year and
only teachers who have completed IB training in Design can
document the hours in class. It can either be offered
as a separate class or integrated into other subject areas. Eich
has decided to integrate Design into science, history and certain
visual and performing arts classes (Adv. Art, Computer Technology
courses, Yearbook, Ballroom Dance, and Leadership). Eich has
created a “Design” tracking sheet that is shared with all
students via Google Docs to track the hours so we ensure all
students have access to the required 50 design hours per school
year.
