Using Groupings from Round 3

If you would prefer, choose a team member (or two) to scribe/sketch your group's thinking out on paper, take a photo and add to this column.

This is your task
List down all the people who are stakeholders in the PYP at your school.

Focus on teaching staff only, sorting them according to the modified CBAM Stages of Concern that you think they are in (as a group in general).

Think about which group is your highest priority to support, and why.

Add in some information about what you learn from thinking about the perspectives of all stakeholders towards supporting the success of the PYP in your schools.

PROMPT: What questions would you ask in order to learn more about their perspectives and needs? What expectations might they have?

Create a visual to sort and represent the ideas that arose. The goal is to have an overview of your community of learners and their needs and perspectives.

Use any drawing tool or sketch by hand and take a photo

Post your product in the next column, with your group member's names.

We will do a Gallery Walk in the next column of our Padlet and highlight important outcomes from the groups by commenting underneath your postings using the 'add comment' box.

ABOUT THE ARTIST MARIAM SATHAR As an admirer of artwork from the impressionist movement I was inspired to incorporate those styles into my art. I adopted the pointillist technique to capture a moment in time where a child is in motion. This piece is a part of a triptych which encompasses a series of snapshots of a child leaping into the air. As a student of Early Childhood Education, I find the playful and adventurous spirit of young children captivating. They have a constant spark of contagious energy. My intention was to express that dynamic energy into this painting. In order to create the impression of movement in a still frame I placed the dots of paint further away from each other to make the figure blurry, removing their distinctive features. The vibrant pallet creates a bright atmosphere, further emphasizing youthful spirit.

During this time of great change, the IB has created a series of webinars to revisit the key underlying principles of an IB education.

Developing as a lifelong learner: inquiry into an IB education

This series will provide IB educators with an opportunity to engage in cross-programme conversations about ways to bring the IB mission to life through approaches to teaching and learning, valuing the world as a broadest context for learning. They also explore how to use learning environments within the wide IB ecosystem for strategic planning and resourcing within daily practices. Each webinar in the series will consist of a two-hour meeting structured in two parts:

Part 1: A cross-programme webinar with a general introduction to the topic, a featured interview with an expert in the field, which will result in practical, hands-on ideas that develop each underlying principle within IB schools.

Part 2: An exchange that encourages IB educators to share ideas and resources while developing communities of practices that could be self-sustaining beyond the webinar.

Webinar #1: Investigating inquiry

Students' own curiosity provides the most effective provocation for learning that is engaging, relevant, challenging and significant. This webinar invites participants to explore the powerful role of inquiry, action and reflection to structure both synchronous and non-synchronous learning, and teaching strategies that place student agency at the center. In this webinar, participants will:

Investigate the powerful role of inquiry, action and reflection as a structure for both synchronous and non-synchronous learning

Explore teaching strategies that place student agency at the center

Reflect on how students' own curiosity provides an effective provocation for learning

Share practical ideas to support an inquiry-based approach

Save the links below to the webinars you'd like to join. The links will be live at the date and time of the webinar.
Webinar #2: Living and learning globally

International-mindedness is a key part of the mission of an IB Education. The IB invites us to engage with diverse beliefs, values and experiences within and across cultures. The focus of an IB education is on active learning and providing opportunities for global engagement and meaningful action with a diverse range of communities. In this webinar, participants will:

Explore international-mindedness as an integral part of the IB mission

Inquire into how to engage with diverse beliefs, values and experiences within and across cultures

Reflect on how to promote active learning that provides opportunities for global engagement

Share practical ideas to support meaningful action within a diverse range of communities

Save the links below to the webinars you'd like to join. The links will be live at the date and time of the webinar.
Webinar #3: Beyond the disciplines

Across all IB programmes, students access broad and balanced academic learning experiences which allow them to access conceptual, factual and procedural knowledge within and across subject areas. By engaging in authentic opportunities, students are able to integrate learning and add coherence to their curriculum. For students to continue to develop as lifelong learners, they need to make meaningful connections between academic disciplines and beyond, in order to better understand the world around them. In this webinar, participants will:

Explore how IB programmes allow students to access a broad, balanced and coherent curriculum within and across subject groups

Inquire into how students are able to integrate learning within authentic contexts

Reflect on how students develop as lifelong learners

Share practical ideas about how connections between disciplines can foster student understanding of the world around them.

Save the links below to the webinars you'd like to join. The links will be live at the date and time of the webinar.
Webinar #4: Approaches to learning

All IB programmes develop the approaches to learning (ATL) skill categories of communication, social, self-management, research and thinking to promote learning as an active and dynamic process. These interrelated skills seek to empower students of all ages to become self-regulated learners who can ask relevant questions, set meaningful goals and put effective strategies to use in order to achieve their goals. In this webinar series, participants will:

Explore how IB programmes use approaches to learning (ATL) skills that promote learning as an active process.

Investigate how these interrelated skills empower students to become self-regulated learners

Reflect on the central role of metacognition

Share practical ideas about how students can develop effective strategies to achieve their goals.
