I would very much like to learn about your experience and knowledge about transdisciplinary to support collaboration and organizational structure in the school setting. I will try to build connections between the PYP changes and the ideas of theorists like Bandura, Vygotsky, Piaget and Guthrie, which I read while I was at the University years ago in the books about development from theory to practice and teaching and learning.

Becoming a community of Learner through acquiring the skills to grow is exciting for the entire school community and the IB organization

New Workshops may be too long for allotted time. 10 sessions too long for two days.

Will there be a common template and PP like in the WIABE workshops? Are all workshops going to a two day model globally?

# data[].attributes.body
Change can be inspiring as we strive together to construct meaning around a common goal

I will need to read up more on research with adult learners about Agency moving into Action- For example, Bandura's research

# data[].attributes.body
Agency is the power to take meaningful and intentional action, and acknowledges the rights and responsibilities of the individual, supporting voice, choice and ownership for everyone in the learning community.

Play as the primary vehicle for inquiry, with planning for uninterrupted time for play

Connection between International Mindedness and Action are strengthened

Attitudes are now a part of the descriptors of the Learner Profile

Action might come in the form of: advocacy, social justice, social entrepreneurship, participation and lifestyle choices and aligned with Global Citizenship.

More flexibility with Exhibition is provided-
Can use optional Exhibition planner or design their own. It is designed to support the position on student agency.
Action might come in the form of: advocacy, social justice, social entrepreneurship, participation and lifestyle choices.

Transdisciplinary teaching and learning may be weakened with greater allowance with single- subject teaching collaboration. Will be interesting for us as Evaluators to show burden of proof on collaboration

Schools may use the newly designed PYP planning template customized for early learners, year level and subject specialist teachers.

The flexibility inherent in a school's unique POI enables IB World Schools to meet their respective local and national requirements, whilst still ensuring commonality among schools within the planners

# data[].attributes.body
Schools will have the option to design their own planner, providing they follow the new collaborative planning process, which outlines clear steps and expectations to plan a transdisciplinary unit of inquiry. Worried that this will be difficult for evaluators as they ensure all required elements are included in the planner.

Wondering about training for Leads on Verification and Evaluations

Collaborative planning demonstrates a commitment to the common goal of supporting and reflecting the transdisciplinary learning experience and improving student outcomes.

Renamed from Transdisciplinary Skills and aligned with all levels
Schools can have their own sub skills

# data[].attributes.body
More flexibility with time frame for Units
An explicit focus on agency–voice, choice and ownership–will encourage active, inquiring students to take responsibility for their own learning.

With greater flexibility to meet respective local and national requirements ; Some concerns that schools will have too narrow of a focus and not take a global context.

I will need to read out to IB colleagues to get feedback as we start teaching workshops

I am also excited to see that learner agency, which indicates that the students lead learning, and inquiry continue to be in the center. Socrates says “Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel”. His words indicate that inquiry is not a new approach. From recent history, Montessori, the well-known educator of early childhood, also states “education is not something which the teacher does, but it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being”. This is almost a description of inquiry.The conversion of transdisciplinary learning skills to approach to learning skills brings extra benefit to schools which have a continuum, like my school. Besides, it gives schools the chance to improve their unique skills. Gulsen

The newly designed PYP planner template specialized for schools, early learners and subject field teachers is a major change, but I am somewhat concerned about this flexibility, when I consider the experience and perspectives of the schools.

I totally share your concerns about planning. In this respect, the PYP coordinator has a major role to play. It is crucial to understand the flexibility and planning correctly.

We are on this journey together and I would love to stay in touch. The focus of my Doctorate was on Transdisciplinarity and the impact of IB on Science Performance so it is a passion of mine. Through the results of that study; I became a true believer in how teaching from a transdisciplinary perspective pulls a community together and requires collaboration. Also, since I am a retired Principal; I have a passion for dealing with the process of change.
