This workshop will enable you to:

  • become familiar with the IB’s philosophy and requirements, including the specifications relevant to the programme(s) for which the school is seeking authorization.

  • prepare to inform and engage their school community

Learning and teaching for conceptual understanding - PYP - Category 2

RECOMMENDED FOR:

PYP educators, coordinators, librarians/media specialists and specialist teachers, who wish to learn more about designing and teaching for conceptual understanding in a transdisciplinary and inquiry-based learning environment.


Please note this workshop will be delivered virtually.


Workshop Overview:

How might we intentionally design and teach for conceptual understanding within a transdisciplinary and inquiry-based context? Developing conceptual understanding enables learners to access many kinds of knowledge and develop understanding from multiple sources and diverse perspectives. In this workshop, participants will explore how:

  • Conceptual understanding is central to the aims of an IB education.

  • Conceptual understanding is developed through the pedagogical approaches to teaching to support transdisciplinary learning within, across and beyond subjects.

  • The programme of inquiry and the PYP collaborative planning process frame opportunities that enable designing and teaching for conceptual understanding that connects meaningfully to the learner and the learning community.

  • Concepts play a critical role in organizing, designing and planning curriculum and learning.

Together, this creates opportunities for learners to make connections, transfer and apply skills, knowledge, and understandings to new and different contexts in creative, generative, agentic and dynamic ways. This workshop provides tools and strategies that enhance conceptual understanding leading to depth and rigour in thinking within, between and across subjects both inside and outside the programme of inquiry.

Head of School - PYP - Category 1 - Face to Face - Cancelled

RECOMMENDED FOR:

This workshop has been cancelled. Please click here for a full list of our available workshops.


Workshop Overview:

In this workshop, heads of school are challenged to think about the process of leadership differently, to base their decision-making and actioning on a foundation of deeper understanding of the complex nature of their own particular context as well as being immersed into the IB ecosystem. Building on this understanding, leaders -- together with the IB -- will consider the ways in which their school community (all stakeholders) will place learning at the centre of their IB programme, through the thoughtful development of purpose, culture and environment, in alignment with the IB’s mission and philosophy.

This workshop will enable you to:

  • embrace your role as a leader of a learning organization in an IB global context.

  • become familiar with the IB’s philosophy and requirements, including the specifications relevant to the programme(s) for which the school is seeking authorization.

  • prepare to inform and engage your school community.

  • plan your school’s IB journey through authorization and beyond, including the identification of a potential leading learners team.

  • begin to develop your school’s IB action plan to meet the IB’s requirements for authorization and a vision for ongoing implementation.
