It was interesting to rephrase the IBLP into young learners' language. I think it's very important for the students to verbalize their learning in their own language. It would be a step for them to be able to negotiate the meaning and to transfer their knowledge in a different context.

Understanding the learner profile gained me confident to strengthened my skills in teaching specially on how will I approach my students correctly. Also, I would like to use the ideas of grouping them using symbols or any that can be related to their learning.

How do you feel about understanding the learner profile?
- Although I've only knew brief about the learner profile, it was very interesting to learn how to state the learner profile for early years. I feel that is crucial for young learners to be able to state these profiles in their own words so that they will have a full understanding of what needs to be achieved. I believe that these profiles are also beneficials for educators to adapt so that they can represent a good example for their students.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to implement more visual aids to help students learn since at a young age they do not fully grasp the language and communication yet. Visual aids will help them understand and retain information by linking ideas, words, and concepts with images.

I would like to use the grouping chart in my class. It is a creative way for them to have different partners without arguing too much.

Having to put the Learner Profiles in the word that students will understand is helpful for me to get into the path of IB teaching.

It is really difficult for me to understand and adapt myself to the learner profile since I came from an old-style school and a really traditional country. On the other hand it was shocking and interesting to see that Spain is actually on the list we saw about countries with a large number of IB schools.

It's quite interesting to know about the Lp.
I would like to implement the learner profile tools with the early year students and approach them in simple language step by step to make them understand the importance of the basic values.

Teachers should encourage their students to get out and volunteer in the community. Teachers should also encourage the students to read material regarding the local culture, customs and courtesies to better understand the people who they may come in contact with

This is a practical question related to the significance of pen pals, which was mentioned in the morning session. Our Japanese team is trying to find out multiple partner schools/classes to do our pen pal project but our network is limited. Is there any IB community (including social media) that would help us find a good match? (Shiori)

- Yes there are communities your can connect with. Usually, the PYPC is a member of a PYP school community. You could ask your leader on how they will be able to support you. I'd say facebook groups are available, but I am sure there are connections within the community.

● Thank you for your information. This is very helpful. Will do!

How am I developing international mindedness in my students?
- Not only students, but we also encourage their parents to introduce events that are celebrated in their own countries so that students will be mindful of different cultures and its celebrations. We also connected international-mindedness in our past unit; Who We Are. Students were able to identify the similarities and differences between themselves and their peers.

In order to help the parents to learn more about IB education, I wish there were more visual resources to share in Japanese language. Compared to what we have in English, it is hard to find good videos/posters (e.g. YouTube) in the language. Any good practices from other language communities outside of English? -Shiori

There are some schools who have developed materials in the Japanese language. My school before, Sunnyside International School is one of them. Like in my previous post, please be in touch with your PYPC about this. I will also share this question to the organiser of this event, Jeremy.

●Thank you for your kind comments on this post too. I believe the information would help not only the whole community to establish a shared understanding. -Shiori

The importance of languages, not only English but world languages was brought up. As a language teacher, I am trying to adjust my practice to align with the notion of Translanguaging. I would like to let children reach a better understanding of the class contents using their first language. At the same time, they should communicate in the target language as much as possible. Any good practice of translanguaging in the classroom? -Shiori

- for early years, I suggest collect resources representing the language of the people in your school community. It would also help if you have some common vocabularies in other languages as well. For example, since I have multicultural students, I have written the numbers in words using English, Turkish, Korean, and Japanese and put it on display.

● I really appreciate this answer in that this is what I can start tomorrow. Students would feel even more welcomed and appreciated when they see their first languages on the wall. Thank you! -Shiori

# data[].attributes.body
I strongly agreed with the idea of having pen pals for learning/teaching languages. From my own experiences, we can develop a language only through using it. Students regard themselves as capable of the target language when they use the language in the real world and successfully communicate with someone. This is how they reach others and approach international-mindedness. -Shiori

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to offer more opportunities for parents to share their languages and cultures as we have friends from several countries. This would be a great learning opportunities for international mindedness. Singing some songs in different languages might be interesting to do as well cause music is an international language.

# data[].attributes.body
Since I have many international kids in my classroom most of the time we do projects that involve parents and the community to share how their countries are from and what their traditions are. When we celebrate them we invite the families to talk about it too!

I believe that trans disciplinary learning is learning that is done in order to solve issues within society

# data[].attributes.body
Think 1: Investigating concepts and issues more in-depth and applying this knowledge in everyday life.

Think 2: Creating learning experiences and environments for students to apply them to different subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Transdisciplinary is problem solving. To figure out what the problem is and how the problem will be solved.

Inquiry or learning of the topic or concepts in many subject such as math, literacy, PE, and music.

# data[].attributes.body
1: It enables children to build skills across different subject areas, rather than studying subjects in isolation.

2: Students can create connections between various subjects/areas while exploring an important concept.

Think 1: Trans disciplinary learning is the ability to link a subject to other subjects and connecting it to their personal life.
Think 2: Exploring a theme/topic (e.g. recycling) by using different subjects (art, math, reading) to develop a deeper understanding.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Breaking down most of the boundaries between subjects. Rather, driven by concept-based inquiries.

2. From the perspective of how subjects and subject areas are connected, Transdisciplinary Learning can be described as CAKE, whereas Interdisciplinary as Stew and Multidisciplinary Salad. IB PYP provides a Transdisciplinary Learning curriculum in which students explore six (or four for K3-5) transdisciplinary themes. The guide of their learning is not subjects but the concepts that are embedded in each theme.

I will begin by asking my students what is important to them and the issues that they want to talk about. I will also ensure that I ask my team to keep me updated with any issues within the community or greater global society and try to make it so that there is a plan to add trans disciplinary learning in my classroom

2. Students build skills across disciplines as they deepen conceptual understandings, taking control of their learning, finding out from everywhere, everyone regardless of subject area.

#5 In Japanese, the study content should be linked to the UOI content that each grade level is studying at that time. For that our team and class teachers communicate well on daily basis.

# data[].attributes.body
Transdisciplinary learning is an everyday in my class. Using morning centers the kids learn from simple things since they find in small details big questions. To assess them I always ask them back questions to see how much they can figure it out by themselves and sometimes their answers are even better than mines.

# data[].attributes.body
Think 2 - Transdisciplinary learning has no boundaries as long as the students are learning. There are 6 themes that you have to connect to make it whole.

What does transdisciplinary learning look like in your classroom currently?
- Our current unit focuses on "How We Organise Ourselves" and discusses the different types of transportation. At this point, students have learned different types of transportation both in English and Japanese.
