Session with Sangeeta ma'am was was very informative and interactive. She explained every concept through an activity different strategies. Her profile was creatively done by using the skills that represented her the best, which was very interesting for me. We learnt how a learning engagement should be Relevant, significant, challenging and engaging for learners. We explored the ATL skills further by an activity where in an example was taken 'what we did this summer?' and the skills that I used to do that. We also talked about school's curriculum and where it lies. We got a better understanding of key consept through an activity ma'am planned where we took an object around us and explored the key concepts related to it.

As we started the session by discussion on the journey of good to great. The Human graph , KWL Chart, Placement mats, I used to think and now I think helped us to reflect upon various IB PYP elements. Later we correlated the IB mission with the schools mission and school house.We had an insight about the international mindedness, local- global  Key concepts,  ATL skills, Learner profiles, transdisciplinary focus, Action taken. How to Provocate inquiry based learning using key concepts & open ended questions.
I enjoyed the tower building activity, which gave me a clear picture of what is inquiry based learning and the role of collaboration & team work. self reflection plays a major role in the self regulated learning.

The session started with the discussion about good to great. The session had a lot of interesting and engaging activities like the Human info graph, reflection strategies such as I used to think.... Now I think, which showed us how to bring the inquiry spirit into the class. The compare and contrast of IB mission statement and the School's mission statement gave us an insight of how the school's vision and mission connect with that of IB's. The PYP elements were very well explained. Overall it was an engaging, significant. relevant session.

Starting with the human graphic strategy, finding the Human commonalities, Human Diversity, and perspective.I  also understood how inquiry has to be planned in such a way that it should be significant, relevant, engaging, and challenging, also got an insight into planning from local to national and then to global. The tuning in and the provocation questions lead to understanding and comparing the school Mission and the IB mission statement also identified how we can promote International Mindedness and also identified the learner profile in each one of us. Understanding the different strategies gave me an insight into how we can use it in different stages of Inquiry. The elements of PYP explained were very easy to be understood and could connect well while the skills were explained through a simple example.

I would like to thank Ms. Sangeetha and her team which was involved in the process of making this training session so productive. Many presentations and videos were displayed which really helped us to get a better understanding of strength & collaboration. There were lots of opportunities to ask questions and discuss about IB mission statements and school's mission statement. The activity involved venn diagram and what I used to think vs Now I think was really provoking lot of thinking. Basic idea of learner profile, actions and key concepts were well explained. Local to global connect and international mindedness was explored thoroughly thorough multiple activities. Castle building activity really made us think more about how to conduct an session with pre determined assessment criteria derived from brainstorming.

The session on Making the PYP happen conducted by Sangeetha ma'am, helped me to strengthen my knowledge about IB-PYP. The session started with a learning engagement where we shared our knowledge about the school curriculum. Follewed by activites to introduce the PYP elements. The way she carried out the session using different learning engagements is really commendable. I really enjoyed the building the tallest tower activity, where we co-constructed the success criteria. Within the short time the entire PYP framework was covered and I had a wonderful experience.

The IB Workshop was conducted by Sangeetha Ma'am at Oakhub  campus was very productive and a journey full of learning experiences.
She taught us various aspects of IB by involving us in different activities. She covered all the essential elements through various thought provoking ideas which gave us a better picture of how to use it in our classrooms. She explained how can we take our students from good to great through constructive style of teaching and explained how an inquiry begins.
Now I have a better picture about pattern which is followed in the PYP also the difference between the traditional school and IB school.
I like the way she explained everything and overall it was  wonderful and great learning experience.

This was my first experience attending a session about IB curriculum and it was very enriching. The highlight of the session was that it was engaging for all of us, just like how the curriculum is supposed to be for our learners. Although, I knew certain things about the curriculum, after the session I became aware of the key terms and elements of the curriculum. I look forward to today’s session with as much zeal and enthusiasm.

The session was extremely enriching and facilitated the broadening of our understanding about the working of IB PYP program. It gave us insights into the essential elements that encompasses PYP such as the learner profile attributes, mission of PYP , ATL skills. It helped us understand how teaching learning in classroom should be student-centric, engaging, relevant, significant and challenging. The curriculum designed should foster understanding among learners about commonality, diversity, respecting perspectives at local and global level.

The session by Shailja ma'am on Good to Great helped to build a connect between personal and school mission statements, which further would lead to the action plan for the year ahead.
The video shared reflected the power of collaboration in achieving a common goal. I wondered that how simple observations in nature leads to deep understandings.
Sangeeta ma'am started the session with an engaging activity which explained in a simple way, many key words used in IB teaching and learning process. Indeed a very effective way to tune in for the session ahead!
The interactive group activities led to deep understanding on existing knowledge of IB PYP elements. Especially the discussion on key concepts left me wondering how relevant questions can give teaching an absolute new dimension.
