Can we arrange for some time for HoD's to discuss and share MYP assessment models? Rusbel reviewed MYP assessment last year but I feel this wasn't done in enough detail and without any collaboration between depts. and as a result did not really help me with designing our Physics MYP assessment model.

I would like us to improve our induction programme for new teachers. Teaching MYP is quite complicated and the ethos is very different to the content/test driven model used in the UK. Over the last few years I've seen many new teachers from the UK struggle to understand how MYP works, get frustrated and then revert to teaching what they know best - KS3 and GCSE.
I am worried that we are losing the MYP holistic approach to education and it is being replaced with a content driven, prepare for test conveyor belt type approach.
MYP is very difficult to do well, but I believe the benefits of it outweigh the disadvantages of not covering as much content as you would in GCSE and it and harder when some teachers do not buy into the MYP approach. I think a prerequisite for employment at the Anglo should be a real commitment to leave GCSE behind and adopt MYP with enthusiasm.
I also think we need to actively recruit more new teachers with previous MYP experience.

With regards to the school day start/finish times and suggestions that other sections may find it unfair we end at 2.30...

at the moment the general feeling is admin / leadership will admonish teachers for not doing something correctly. this attitude needs to change to "how can we support you doing better, what do you need from us to help you succeed". If I felt more likely to be supported rather than spoken down to I would be more likely to seek support before a small issue becomes a big problem.

the start of year time should be only for preparing for students return. brief whole bach meetings, department time and thats it. this is not the time to start the CIS process for example, this is work for during the year.

Considero que es necesario plantear metodologías y objetivos más claros para los estudiantes en sus lecciones de mentoria. Puede llegar a pasar que los estudiantes van a mentoria sin ningun fin, sino a pasar el tiempo antes de entrar a clases. Sería bueno pensar en cómo hacer la mentoria un espacio de reflexión, confianza y trabajo colaborativo entre los estudiantes y los profesores, sin que se sienta que es un espacio de relleno. Considero que mentoria puede llegar a ser un espacio de bienestar y aprendizaje muy enriquecedor si nos salimos de las diapositivas y las estructuras que parecieran ser muy rigidas para llevar a cabo este espacio tan importante.
Gracias.

A respectful discussion between teacher and student about something such as grades is definitely something that should be embraced, but too often, students' goal seems to be to have a grade increased, not to understand how to improve. This makes entering grades for summatives and end of semester stressful, as after entering a grade we receive several emails from students to ask to change the grade or to meet regarding the grade
