Just yesterday I met with the principal, and we decided the first semester of this year will be focused on beefing up the school's understanding of ATL skills. From now until teachers return in August, I will be developing professional development resources. Another major component of my role is managing logistics for service projects, particularly the community project. Probably my favorite part of my role is connecting with other coordinators and sharing ideas and practices. ]]> 2018-07-06 17:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/frangiskalewis/cxvx9zie63ar/wish/269575564 annarayanan https://padlet.com/frangiskalewis/cxvx9zie63ar/wish/269618093 I have just been appointed a Coordinator of my school.As a Coordinator of my school, i will be aligning my work by ensuring that the requirments of the programme matches with the Mission, Vision, Values of the school.

A coordinator is to make sure that the staff understand the requirements of the MYP and know how to deliver these requirements. The coordinator therefore must also have an excellent working knowledge of the requirements in order to be able to support others effectively. The coordinator must also attempt to identify where these requirements are not being met or could be met more successfully and address these issues through working closely with the teachers. In some cases the coordinator can work with the teachers themself but should also attempt to develop systems which where teachers support each other. If additional support is needed such as external IB training then the coordinator should provide information about this to staff. 
 
The coordinator is also the official point of contact between the school and the IBO and the person who is responsible for overseeing the administrative side of the programme. 
 
The coordinator should also try to ensure that the MYP is well understood throughout the school and that there is an alignment of the school’s values and the MYP’s values.
