Review the planner templates in session 10, specifically page 6.

Engage carefully with the diagram that shows the PYP collaborative planning process and make note of all the places that provide opportunities to develop conceptual understanding.

What do you notice? Is there anything you would add to or change in the planner based on what you notice

regarding developing conceptual understanding? How do these templates and examples connect to your planners?

Review the Powerpoint in session 12.

What are two stars (areas of strength) that you feel your school does well with respect to conceptual understanding? What is a wish (an area for growth)?

Choose one area to focus in on with regard to supporting your school in further developing conceptual understanding. Use questions in the image that are relevant to you to help develop your presentation.

Create a 5–10 minute presentation (e.g. using Google Slides, MindMeister) based on your learning through this workshop with strengths and possible areas for development for your school with regard to conceptual understanding. Considering your role and school needs, choose if this will be:

• a year-level presentation

• a whole-staff meeting presentation

• a presentation to the pedagogical leadership team.

Ensure the presentation includes:

• areas of strength

• areas that require further development

• possible strategies for making changes (include examples of changes based on your

analysis).
