The open discussion about teacher burnout, and also talking about providing physical space to support student learning was quite insightful. Lack or shortage of physical spaces does affect and impact the teaching /learning environment and mood.  Peer support and teacher support are also strongly tied to a positive school climate and academic achievement and I am happy to see that it is recognized and our school leaders are keen and willing to address this concern objectively. Thank you for that.  Niiru Singh

In this session we looked at the assessment policy. All the requirements in the school's policy match with the IB philosophy and the policy in the IB document. The point on availability of resources during assessment is missing from the school's policy and needs to be included.
While collecting evidence it might be difficult to find evidence of assessment for the elements of PYP (skills, concepts and learner profile attributes).

# data[].attributes.body
Our policies align with the IB philosophy, however, there are some gaps between our policies and practices. We can work towards reflecting and discussing how we can ensure consistency in the implementation of the policies and how we can make sure that everybody is involved and committed to delivering these policies.

We mentioned the role of the local in the UOI as a good resource that can be explored by both, students and teachers. In this case, co-teachers can help, being good human resources for content and special guests invitation.
Sometimes we go very global, living in the shadow the local context, which is very important for the present and the future learning of our students.

It went fine, but I feel like the work is unequally distributed. The learning group has a lot more standards/practices to go through that other groups. Perhaps we could split the Learning into two groups?

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that collaborating and integrating is a key role in facilitating and making the units more interesting and meaningful.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that learning the Inquiry cycle was the understanding of PYP but now I see it more deeply as we learn about International mindedness and other skills it envolves .

# data[].attributes.body
A repeated story in the culture group was that the policies are mostly written to correctly reflect the IB guidelines, but not consistently implemented. The challenge will be with showing evidence that practice lives up to policy.

All the practices under learning talk about what happens in the classroom; before, during and after instruction. We had very good reflections and discussions on our practices in terms of the written, taught and assessed curriculum. We believe in terms of designing a coherent curriculum, we have documents in place to show that we plan and collaborate and communicate our curriculum to the school community. However, we feel that we should be more consistent in documenting grade level planning and that these have to be specifically included in our timetable. In terms of the taught curriculum or approached to teaching, some of us feel that we need more feedback through random observations to ensure that our instruction is aligned with the IB philosophy. For students as lifelong learners, we focused our discussion on the learner profile and how we can further instill this on the school community.

# data[].attributes.body
As a group we discussed all the standards and practices under Environment and collected the evidences and identified the stakeholders. We couldn't get to the teacher support section as we ran out of time. Next session we should complete that and add the evidences to the folder.

# data[].attributes.body
Session Goals:
- Each group finds out what standards and practices are in place and what need to be in place
- Gather evidences and organize them in the respective folders.
- Team Leaders report to the other groups at the end of the session.

I am interested in learning more about the self study that we will have to do leading up to our evaluation. I would also like to see our report from our last evaluation to see where the school was last time. I've never seen a PYP evaluation report before.

# data[].attributes.body
I was reminded about the importance of the learner profiles in order to become a life long learner. I will continue to relate back to these often in the classroom but also try to notice the actions of students around school.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about the changes/updates in the PYP standards and practices. I am looking forward to the time when we will review our practices, reflect and collect evidence to show our practices in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I was happy to have the basic elements of the evaluation explained. I feel that it will be a chance for me to develop as an IB teacher and looking forward to using the evaluation as a resource to better understand the PYP program.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that being a lifelong learner was more focused on academic. Now I know that It Is based even in other skills and an international philosophy.
