I have learned that others have some of the same feelings that I have been having. It is going to take us working together to bring about change, to strive for better.

I feel as I have an understanding of what needs to be implemented in the classroom and it all goes back to having that international mindedness mind set.

# data[].attributes.body
Reflecting on the conversations I am learning the value if transdisciplinary learning. While I do it to some extent I feel that I have room to grow, I also believe that we as the teachers need to work on creating more of a learning community at Speas. To often we do not get together and share Ideas across grade leaves and programs.

If language is a window into culture, teachers must be the ones who draws the blind for students to see beyond their classroom and have a real interaction with culture, not just the visual elements of it.

I have learned so much because this is my first year in a IB School and I think that now I have a better understanding of the purpose or objectives of the IB program and how to put it in practice. I am so excited for next school year, so I can start building with my students an International Mindedness (View of world), how to appreciate and value the diversity and cultures.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learn that we as a school need to start creating more meaninfull cultural exchange. Than we neet to start working as a single community. As a first year teacher in an IB school now I feel like I'm understanding and more prepare to teach my students next year.

I know we are talking about ways to improve Speas and to keep growing as an IB school, but at the same time, we need to recognize some of our strengths. Coming to Speas from another school, I have been impressed with many things, and overall pleasantly surprised by this school. The students are respectful and mostly well-behaved. The DLI students seem excited about learning a second language. Students in general seem to be excited to learn about other cultures and places. Parent interest and involvement is much greater here than other schools. And, as a new addition to Speas, I have felt welcomed and included by the staff (something that doesn't always happen with EC). So, overall, I am really impressed with Speas, students, staff and the learning that is going on here (even during a pandemic!)

International-mindedness is a journey it is not a product.

We are more preoccupied on teaching the standards than on guiding students toward international mindedness.

I would like to have examples on how schools around the world end up promoting international mindedness and at the same time teaching the standards required by their states.

I have a better understanding about the school as a whole and the role IB plays into our school.  I know that there are all sorts of cool things happening in our school.  It also seems that there are some areas that many agree need to be addressed.

Because of COVID I’ve mainly communicated with people via email or small conversation in the media center or hall, I’m looking forward to getting to know you all better next year.  I’ve been really impressed with the insight and conversations in the break out rooms and as a whole group.
