As an urban middle school begins to implement the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program, this study explores the process of experiencing a curricular change from the perspective of the teachers and students themselves. Through the use of a mixed methods approach, key administrators, teachers, and students were interviewed in the first year of implementation. During the second year, teachers were surveyed as a means of tracking the change over time that teachers may have been experiencing. Themes emerged in the areas of instructional practice, professional experiences, and student experiences. Most interestingly and not expected was a theme related to whether IB was a “good fit” for the students in this particular school. Participants’ ability to highlight the successes and challenges inherent in a change process is discussed in light of future planning.

成为国际文凭中学项目：教师、学生和管理人员的观点

随着一所城市中学开始实施国际文凭中学项目，本研究从教师和学生自身的角度探讨了体验课程变革的过程。通过使用混合方法，在实施的第一年采访了主要管理人员、教师和学生。在第二年，教师接受了调查，作为跟踪教师可能经历的一段时间内变化的一种手段。主题出现在教学实践、专业经验和学生经验等领域。最有趣且出乎意料的是一个与 IB 是否“适合”这所特定学校的学生有关的主题。
