Shiloh High earns IBCC program approval Shiloh High, an authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) Progamme School, recently became Gwinnett County’s first school to be approved for another component of IB, the IB Career Related Certificate (IBCC) Programme. The IBCC Programme is designed to help students become self-confident, internationally minded, while incorporating the IB vision and educational principles as they become engaged in their chosen career-related studies. The IBCC Programme aims to provide students with both an academic and practical foundation to support both their rigorous academia and specialized training in their career-pathway. IBCC combines highly regarded and internationally recognized IB Diploma Programme courses with an approved career-related study and a unique IBCC core, which includes approaches to learning, community and service, language development, and a reflective project. Shiloh High’s 1st class of IBCC will begin their studies in August 2014. At completion of the IBCC Programme, these students will earn an IBCC certificate and a possible college credit in their coursework. Shiloh High’s IBCC Programme will work closely with the school’s new career academies, which will be implemented this fall, as students will choose their career-related studies within a career academy. The Shiloh High career academies are as follows: Art, Media, and Entertainment; Health, Wellness, and Education; Marketing and Leadership; and Science and Technology. Shiloh High earned the IBCC certificate under the leadership of veteran educator Jamilya Mayo, the school’s IBCC Coordinator, and Shiloh High Principal Dr. Eric Parker. Mayo has been a career and technical education teacher for a decade at Shiloh High. She’s taught business, marketing, and worked as the work-based learning coordinator for the past four years. In 2010, Mayo received the Junior Achievement Teacher of the Year Award from the Atlanta Chapter of Junior Achievement. Dr. Parker has led the school since 2011.
