IDU Collaborative Workshop by Tr. William Tolley https://padlet.com/williamtolley/exx0gsss1vuyxwbq en-us 2023-03-05 03:17:20 UTC 2026-03-20 19:48:35 UTC hello@padlet.com Water Scarcity michellereyna2 https://padlet.com/williamtolley/exx0gsss1vuyxwbq/wish/2504360102 *IDU Subjects:
Science
I & S

These subjects share concepts and skills that would support interdisciplinary learning (change and innovation; well-being).
ATLs could easily be injected such as research skills, thinking skills and social skills.
Purpose of Integration: To come up with a viable solution for water scarcity
I think Criteria B and C needs planning and strengthening.]]> 2023-03-06 01:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/williamtolley/exx0gsss1vuyxwbq/wish/2504360102 Water Scarcity jaymacdonald1 https://padlet.com/williamtolley/exx0gsss1vuyxwbq/wish/2504392295 The problem being addressed is water scarcity. 
  • It seems to aim to develop an understanding of the background behind this scarcity and actions people can take to lower their own impact on this topic.
  • ATL such as research, collaboration, and self-management skills could be easily incorporated into this 
  • The context of globalization and sustainability would fit this IDU well. 
  • There is a viable real-world context as all of us humans need access to potable water to survive. 
  • Possible disciples could be science, individuals and societies, and possibly design.
  • The purpose of this integration is to compare what students have learned in both disciples to try and provide viable solutions to this issue.
  • This IDU poster offers evidence of the product but not really much evidence of the analysis of disciplines. It also does not really show their own understanding of the topic.

problem or challenges: access to clean water, water scarcity 
problem-based aim facilitate
  • interdisciplinary learning: students can bring what they've learned from different disciplinaries/subject
  • ATLs: problem-solving involves researching, identifying the problem, coming up with a solution (thinking), and making a plan to solve it (self-management)
purpose of integration: students need to have an understanding of the distribution of water resources, and the reason why some people can't get access to clean water so that they can design a filter

Make sure the students get to choose. Let the students inquire and find out what problems are associated with water scarcity. List the problems on the board. Then each student adapts and focuses on one problem in a specific country (Humanities Class) and presents a solution. The students then take a personal action to save water. ]]> 2023-03-06 02:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/williamtolley/exx0gsss1vuyxwbq/wish/2504403782 Review of I & I Sample Page michellereyna2 https://padlet.com/williamtolley/exx0gsss1vuyxwbq/wish/2504498190 The POI section appears to have met the 3 IDU criteria for it was able to articulate explicitly how skills and concepts of each subject involved will be used and explored in the unit. However, the product of the IDU was not clear to me, especially for language and literature and how it would interplay with what the students are going to do for math. 
Furthermore, the SOI is missing, which I think is one of the most highlighted part of an MYP unit planner.]]> 2023-03-06 03:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/williamtolley/exx0gsss1vuyxwbq/wish/2504498190 Review of Is life satisfaction measurable? IDU unit jaymacdonald1 https://padlet.com/williamtolley/exx0gsss1vuyxwbq/wish/2504523549
The POI tries to bring in using specific words, the aspects of the 3 IDU assessment criteria of analysis, synthesis and reflection. The final statement of the POI suggests this. 
The ATL skills section and statement of inquiry are not included and are fundamental to the development of the rest of the unit.

I think our subject team will be very receptive to the ideas embedded in the unit. As for pitching it to the arts subject area (music), I think it will not be a problem because they do study rap as a genre and as a form of self-expression.]]> 2023-03-06 06:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/williamtolley/exx0gsss1vuyxwbq/wish/2504653471 first IDU proposal elvayang https://padlet.com/williamtolley/exx0gsss1vuyxwbq/wish/2504659164 1. brainstorm on the Chinese rap songs that reflect the culture, rhymes in rap, lyrics structures
2. coordinate with music: talk about how to put your lyrics to the melody]]> 2023-03-06 06:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/williamtolley/exx0gsss1vuyxwbq/wish/2504659164 First pitch jaymacdonald1 https://padlet.com/williamtolley/exx0gsss1vuyxwbq/wish/2504715232
I will probably pitch the grade 9 and 10 IDU units as they are being established or have resources to become established.

I will get ideas for how science would like to engage with the other subject, make time to discuss with the associated subject chairs so that we can work out a time where both of our teams can get together to work on their IDUs together.

There may also be difficulties in getting students to "buy in" with the purpose of the IDUs.  There could be issues with the logistics of getting time to work with the associated teachers to complete their work.
One solution is to have good transparency of expectations and ib protocol.
