Understanding the potential of every child and helping them achieve it.
Some things are just better together. As more International Baccalaureate (IB) Schools are implementing the BARR (Building Assets, Reducing Risks) model, we are seeing more evidence of increased success in student growth and academic achievement. Why? Because BARR:
- Builds positive intentional relationships between teacher and student as well as teacher to teacher in order to truly understand the potential and motivations of every student in a strengths- and team-based way.
- Drives the right conversations, decisions and interventions using relevant data to ensure that every student has the opportunity to achieve their true potential.
More Students Take AP and IB Courses with BARR
Students who are empowered to see and believe in their potential are more likely to enroll and thrive in the rigor of AP and IB courses. BARR ensures that it happens, and it’s not just a theory… it’s happening in BARR+IB schools throughout the nation.
We are welcoming more IB Schools to join the BARR Network!
