I am Rehab ElSokary a human being with multiple dreams. I have started teaching elementary students  since 1994, became a coordinator and reading consultant in 2005, a teacher trainer and owner of an educational servecies company  in 2009 Start Smart,  and the managing director at Colours Early Learning Centre since 2011.
I attended several courses and earned my Master Degree in Education from The College of New Jersey in 2015. I am eager to learn more about the PYP and the possibilities of applying it with very young children before the age of school.
I am a mother of three daughters, Lojain in her last year of university, Alia and Lina in grade 9 currently in an American school but they spent 10 years in an IB school where I have seen how they have developed and flourished in the system. They have learned how to think, question, reflect and find solutions to problems while developing their skills.
I love reading, telling stories, music, dancing , Arts and walking.
I am looking forward to meeting you all and sharing our experinces and love of learning.

What is the focus of the workshop?

To develop the following understandings:

• Individual teachers’ beliefs and experiences related to teaching affect the way they perform.

• International-mindedness is encompassed in the IB Learner Profile. It is further developed by practices under PYP standards.

• In the PYP, the school’s curriculum includes all those student activities, academic and non-academic, for which the school takes responsibility, since they all have an impact on student learning

• At the heart of the curriculum cycle is the learner constructing meaning.

• The five essential elements resonate throughout the entire curriculum

• The PYP curriculum is concept-driven and transdisciplinary.

• Teaching and learning takes place when a range and balance of teaching strategies are selected appropriately to meet particular learning needs.

• Assessment is integral to planning, teaching and learning, and needs to be varied and purposeful

• Responsibility for learning is shared within a learning community through collaborative and reflective planning
• The programme of inquiry and the subject scope and sequences are components of the curriculum, which when used together, define a coherent curriculum.

• Units of inquiry must illuminate the transdisciplinary theme under which they are placed.

• There is a range of IB professional development available to support the implementation of the PYP.
