The agency learning is modeled by our collaborations. We are doing exactly what should be done in the classroom. I love the experience sharing and doing what the student can do in the classroom, as well. It becomes to feel second nature and hope to continue to grow my personal agency learning.

I learned a bunch of different strategies to use in my classroom. The one that stood out to me was another way to use different languages in the classroom is counting down in different languages. My goal is to learn how to count in several other languages.

After yesterday, my understandings of the PYP principles and practices have grown so much. Being able to learn and collaborate with others really makes a difference.

Thank you for introducing to compass questions! I'm going to use it with my students. I loved the idea of putting North, South, East, and West on the walls of the rooms and students can rotate around and talk with their peers.

I really appreciate the way this course is focused on process versus product.  The past two summers have been so product driven in the MYP (unit, UNit, UNIT!) that it made me want to abandon teaching at an IB school.  This course, however, is focused on process and I really appreciate that.  I have the agency to choose what I take away from the learning and how I implement it in my classroom.

I am excited to have a better understanding of “action” and “agency” and some ways to support with my kinders.

The one sentence that stood out to me about Action is: " When students see tangible actions that they can choose to take to make a difference, they
see themselves as competent, capable and active agents of change". By giving students the ability to initiate action they are able to apply their learning to real issues in their community and to the world to have positive change.

I liked the questions to consider to use as a tool to support students action in the learning community. I also liked the examples provided on how to connect action and the learner profile.

Agency is supported through the use of choice - we choose what we work on and how to present it.

AAA, not just roadside service! I loved reading this morning that action and agency are inextricably linked. Music is inherently an applied discipline. One can learn about music (musicology, theory, history, etc.) but MAKING music is ultimately the goal. The beautiful part is that one can sing without any theoretical knowledge whatsoever, just like a child can speak without any grammatical knowledge. (Is there anything more beautiful than the voice of a child?). I have used learning stations in my music room in the past, but have strayed away from it. While whole group, participation based instruction is efficient, it may not always be effective.) Our conversations and reading make me realize I would like to implement a hybrid model: whole group / small group in stations / whole group. (Sorry for the treatise)

I really enjoyed the combination of groups you employed yesterday Lucy!  From one on one to grouped pairs to larger groups.  Wonderful and great modeling both for in person and remote teaching/learning!

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest "aha" moment for me yesterday was hearing that the PYP is a framework and not a program.  This was a great relief to me, because programs are often void of agency.  Agency is what makes teaching a profession, a blend of art and science.

I enjoyed reading more about Learner Agency this morning, and how to support my students in taking ownership of their learning.

I am very excited to share what I have learned with my colleges to help them better understand the PYP so that we as a team can implement these practices into our lessons. I also loved the idea today on collaborating with the related arts teachers to better align lessons throughout the subjects to help create transdisciplinary learning.

Although I have taught 2 years at an IB school, without an IB coordinator or formal training.. my understanding has been vague up until now. I am already feeling much more confident in incorporating IB practices more into my classroom this upcoming year.

The connections during this workshop to agency support understanding of how learning targets and end goals are to be shared.  Both with students and fellow educators.  Many ideas to how to understand expected
outcomes are more clear.

Dr. Sandra Villarreal Montgomery                           This was my first year as an IB teacher.  Both my children went through what started as an Athena program then converted to PYP, MYP, and Diploma Program.  My son has his IB diploma and my daughter just completed all her testing to receive her IB diploma.  Therefore most of my experience is more as a parent throughout the process.  I was also PTA president and advisory level for all these years.  My perspective has been as a parent and now I am learning the educator level.

This will be my first workshop understanding PYP and all of its components. I taught in an IB school last year for my first year of teaching, but we didn't have too much of a chance to dive deep with PYP for our youngest students. I'm excited to learn more and how to bring it back to my classroom.

For me importantly, I can apply my learning from this workshop in the classroom for both myself as teacher and the students. How I can embrace in lesson plans and daily naturally.

As I become more familiar with PYP I am able to get a better understanding of the principles and practices.  It's a lot of information but beneficial for everyone.

My understanding  of PYP is evolving quick as this is my second year of teaching. I'm here to grab all the knowledge I can get to become a successful IB teacher with understanding that teaching itself is always evolving for teachers and students each year.

I can support student agency in learning and teaching by involving our students as "active" participants and co-constructors of their learning.  Making connections to their experiences and real world. Engaging them in rich discussions and creating a community of collaboration. I can support initiated student inquiry and allow them to take reflect on their actions and self regulate. Agency is supported though voice, choice, and ownership.
