In the 2 days of this workshop we will be looking at 3 big questions:
- Why? - this is the philosophy behind the PYP
- What? - this is the theory behind the curriculum. We will be looking at the written and the assessed curriculum.
- How? - this is our practice and how we bring the curriculum alive. We will be looking at planning for inquiry, teaching and learning.
Transdisciplinary Theme: How We Organize Ourselves
Central Idea: The PYP is a philosophy and curriculum framework for an international education
Lines of Inquiry:
- the essential elements of an international curriculum
- inquiry as a stance
- teaching and learning of the whole child
- planning and assessing to inform and transform teaching
Key Concepts: form, function, causation
Summative Assessment: Consider an upcoming unit of inquiry. Develop a summative assessment task that caters for the learning of all students (i.e. should involve differentiation) and demonstrates the engagement with the unit through the 5 essential elements.
