Head, Diploma Programme

“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” – John Dewey

Having been instrumental in setting up the Diploma Programme at Neev, I’m elated to be back as IBDP Head, returning to a space where education is reimagined in a changing India. Neev is a place where students are nurtured to build knowledge, self-awareness, and meaningful relationships with people and the environment, in pursuit of happy, healthy, and impactful lives.

My educational philosophy is rooted in helping students discover the gift of life through education. I believe learning should shape values, build life skills, and foster strong partnerships between schools, students, and families. For me, education is not just about academic success, it’s about nurturing character, wellbeing, and a sense of purpose.

With two decades in international education across IB World Schools in India, I’ve had the privilege to serve as an IB Senior Examiner, Exchange Moderator, DP Programme Leader, MYP/DP Workshop Leader, and NEASC and CIS Visitor. I have led dedicated teams through successful authorization, programme evaluations, and curriculum innovations.

As a leader, I strive to empower students and colleagues to take ownership of their growth, and to foster a culture of trust, reflection, and continuous improvement. Students’ curiosity, their ideas, dreams and most importantly their resilience, remind me of the true purpose of education.

I invite every member of our community to join me in shaping an environment where learning is joyful, purposeful, and enduring.

Let’s continue this journey together. With gratitude

Abhinav Awasthi

The Global Politics course, as part of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program's Individuals and Societies subject group, offers students an insightful exploration into the intricate world of politics at varying levels - local, national, international, and global. It encourages a systematic and critical examination of key political concepts, contemporary political issues, and the multifaceted nature of political activities. Students are fostered to appreciate diverse perspectives, recognizing that human attitudes, beliefs, and interpretations of political matters are open, contestable and require the tolerance of uncertainty. The course aims to develop skills that enable students to critically analyze theories, concepts, arguments, and data within the realm of global politics. Ultimately, it highlights the relevance of global political study to students' own culture and other societies, underscoring the interconnectedness and complexity of political issues across the globe.

This course enables students to satisfy the requirements of both subjects groups simultaneously while studying one course. ESS is firmly grounded in both a scientific exploration of environmental systems in their structure and function, and in the exploration of cultural, economic, ethical, political and social interactions of societies with the environment. The interdisciplinary nature of the DP course requires a broad skill set from students, including the ability to perform research and investigations, participation in philosophical discussion and problem-solving. The course requires a systems approach to environmental understanding and promotes holistic thinking about environmental issues. Teachers explicitly teach thinking and research skills such as comprehension, text analysis, knowledge transfer and use of primary sources. They encourage students to develop solutions at the personal, community and global levels.

The research process

The research process involves the following steps, though the order may unfold differently for different students.

• Choose a broad topic then refine and focus it.

• Decide the appropriate pathway: interdisciplinary or subject-focused.

• Choose the approved DP subject(s).

• Undertake some preparatory reading.

• Form a well-focused research question.

• Plan the research and writing process.

• Plan a structure for the essay. This may change as the research develops.

• Carry out the research.

Writing and formal presentation

The required elements of the final submission are as follows.

• Title page

• Contents page

• Introduction

• Body of the essay

• Conclusion

• References and bibliography

The upper limit of 4,000 words includes the introduction, body, conclusion and any quotations. Reflection process

Reflection is the process by which students recapture their experience and think about its impact on them as learners. This includes how they envisage applying what they have learned to other circumstances, including future studies, career, or life in general. To assist students with this, there are three mandatory, formal reflection sessions with the supervisor.

The reflection sessions also give students the opportunity to:

• Reflect on their engagement with the research process

• Consider the effectiveness of their choices

• Re - examine their ideas and decide whether changes are needed.

The final reflection session is the viva voce, a short interview (10-15 minutes) between the student and the supervisor. The viva voce serves to check academic integrity, reflect on successes and difficulties, and think about what has been learned. Reflective thinking is recorded as a 500-word reflective statement. The student writes the statement at the end of the extended essay process and includes it on the Reflection and progress form (RPF). The form also notes the student’s attendance at each reflection session.

Neev has a successful Tok course with several students obtaining the highest grade. In May 2023, the resulta from TOK ensured that the cohort finished the DP with an average of 2.27 out of 3 baonus points. The course is formed on the basis of perspectives, and to this end the school creates opportunities for students to interact with experts within several areas of knowledge. Students demonstrate this exposure to multiple perspectives and their ability to think critically by working with various IB prompts for their exhibition and essay that covered such elements as value, power, Interpretation, and ethical considerations in the creation and sharing of knowledge

The Extended Essay is an independent piece of research, culminating with a 4,000-word paper The axtandad essay provides: practical preparation for undergraduate research. It offers an opportunity for students to investigate a topic of personal interest to them, which relates to one of the student's six DP subjects, or takes the interdisciplinary approach of a World Studies extended essay.

All three strands of CAS are equally important at Neev and are expected to be demonstrated across the two years of the DP. Creativity gives students the opportunity to take an idea and develop it into an original product; activity ensures that students develop a healthy lifestyle through physical exercise and exertion; service brings students together with the community around them in response to an authentic need. A few CAS projects created by Neev students often combine more than one CAS strand leading to engagement at several levels of personal and interpersonal leaming. A few of the "named' CAS projects are: Griseo helps teenagers cope with stress through webinars and artickes. The Joyful Peach curates positive news and aims to spread positivity in the community. Amarte Art while apart art sessions for people to destress. Susteniri sustainability education through workshops and expert talks. F&F help center video guides for teachers on Zoom, Google Drive & Windows 10. Sole Warriors Shodding migrant worker communities with recycled footwear. Macha's Bakery Bakes and sells coolves and cakes for migrant worker support many initiatives are unnamed but work towards education, COVID care fundraising and more. Some are award winning individual projects others are collaborations, often across grades.

Theory of Knowledge and the extended essay are assessed, while CAS is not formally assessed but it is necessary to meet all requirements for the award of the diploma. The grade obtained in ToK (A-E) and in the EE (A-E) combine to give each student a maximum of three points. These points are referred to as core points
