Thanks to Lisa for acknowledging where everyone is at NOW and having us move forward...but not necessarily expecting to us to get to the finish line.  Learned so much!

 Interdisciplinary teaching and learning is ALREADY happening, organically, in our schools….it merely needs to be formalized to realize the richness that is there.

I have seen and heard that there are countless ways to connect disciplines....if you stumble upon something creative or "out there", please share....

Making units AUTHENTIC through GRASPS is what keeps STUDENTS and teachers invested

Thank you for an enjoyable experience, I am still in the infancy stage of MYP so a lot of it was a little murky, but being in a room full of knowledge made it so much clearer. I am so excited about it now because of each of you, who are positive about what you do.

Thank you James Rossi for so generously sharing resources with all of us and alleviating the work involved in assigning ATL skills.  And, thank you for always being willing to speak openly and quickly about each topic.

Thank you Mary-Beth for being so patient, optimistic and working so hard to understand even though you had never been "exposed" to IB unit planners before.

We already practice ID teaching, however, it isn't formalized.  Perhaps we will really try harder to make it happen by sharing our unit that we created over the past 3 days. I think it can work - and, as they say, if you think it, you can do it!

It would be great to have a retreat of some kind in order to spend a weekend really reviewing/sharing what we have learned.  There simply isn't adequate time to complete this at school.

1.  Find time to complete the unit and also to read in the folks that we'd like to run with it.
2.  Prepare for a large contingent of folks to tackle this in the summer after our verification visit.  This will involve preparation and having those with a firm grasp (no pun intended) of concepts doing it.
3. Grading discussion needs to be had - where are we going, and how much are we going to be able to do - we don't want to be an anchor for the middle school - and we also don't want kids to go backwards when they get to us.

1.  Find time to complete the ID Unit that we started here and try to implement this year (we have teachers who are willing now-so I know that goes against not starting in the middle of the year).
2.  With Chris, Jim and Beth (principal of NMS) recreate this experience for our AP's and teachers this summer and have them understand and write an ID Unit.
3.  The ID Unit is important for future disciplinary planning by teachers (the old saying two is better than one-if this is done correctly the teachers planning will share the importance).

1. The purpose is essential to crafting an IDU.
2. The Global Context and ATL skills must be at the foundation of each learning experience throughout the IDU.
3. The Summative Assessment should be a performance of understanding, which students develop over the course of the entire unit.

1. Be very honest about the amount of time and collaboration it will take to create a unit so no one is caught off guard.

2. Be intentional about allowing time for teachers to work together; namely, MAKING time within hectic schedules.
3. Sharing the successes that we experienced here so that our fellow teachers can get EXCITED about what's to come!

I've found today to be extremely productive and helpful. Most of my questions regarding IDUs were tied to the assessment portion of the unit. The work we've done today has helped me understand the ID philosophy of assessment and learn protocols for helping our teachers once I return to the city that never sleeps, Hagerstown, Maryland.

Love that we will walk away from this workshop with a unit (or at least the start of one!) in hand.  We can go back and tell our teachers that "we've been there".--KVE

I like the step by step approach to creating the IDU - it feels so much easier, and I am reassured by the process.  It is somewhat frustrating though to be limited in how we create the SOI.

I feel so much more confident about the process of creating an interdisciplinary unit. We now have the tools, framework, and overall purpose that will serve as the backbone of our unit. I'm very excited to begin planning our assessments and activities! I can't wait for our students to experience the authenticity of crossing science and literature!

Eye-opening stuff for me as a coordinator today. Feel like I can now intelligently begin a conversation about ID planning with our teachers!

Being new to IB, today I made connections and continue to learn how to dissect the unit planner.  Looking forward to sharing my new learning with my department.  Thanks Mr. Park and Mrs. Lisa for leading the way!

Today I picked up strategies and protocols for helping my teachers understand the PURPOSE of their IDU. Part of me feels bad that I led them into the woods without resources and tools, the other part of me is excited that they got to do some work with IDUs and will now have the opportunity to do the work the right way.

I was really glad to get a chance to work on the planner right away instead of waiting for day 2. The work we did on purpose and integration was hugely helpful.
