No, they are not "most likely" to instruct the FL dept. to adopt the recommendation, they might, they might not and even if they do, they can say no. They arent violating anything.

Who is "you be the judge" ITs rarely get to decide their own scheduling, if leadership says you get four phases in a course you get 4 phases.
Again, what they have to do for prep, really depends on what their expectations are. Is 2 phases with high expectations equivalent to 4 phases with low expectations, maybe.

Im claiming that DIP is more valuable than MYP. It depends on a lot. year doesnt really matter much in language its all phases, so if its MYP 1-3 with all mixed phases, or mixed grades and phases, or lots of different combinations are possible. If its low expectations and everything is say phase 1 and 2, than thats really just 2 preps regardless of year, and it makes adding a DIP course pretty easy. If its in anyway doable, than doing the DIP course is much more marketable.

Well thats true the most successful model ISs do that, many, especially third tier ISs dont, in such ISs the DIP is everything.

Yes the MYP spans 5 grades and DIP only 2, but those 2 years in DIP are much more important, and I have to strongly disagree outside of the US there are 2288 DIP programs in ISs and only 738 MYP programs in ISs.

Should doesnt mean anything. There are lots of things ITs believe an IS should do, but reality is very different. I would agree about asking the recruiter and leadership what level of commitment to coordinator activities the coordinator has.
