My name is Corita Silapan, but please feel free to call me Corita.

I am currently based in Jakarta, Indonesia, and I’ve had the privilege of living in this beautiful country for 21 years.

Before being introduced to the PYP, I was a preschool teacher at a Montessori school and later taught primary students at a Singapore school. My journey with the PYP began in 2007, and for the past 18 years, I have been fully immersed in this educational framework. I also serve as a face-to-face workshop leader, a member of site visit teams, and have facilitated online workshops since 2013. Working with talented educators like you from across the world is something I truly enjoy.

Outside of my professional life, I am a devoted mother to two wonderful daughters and cherish spending quality time with my family, especially on weekends, with my husband and two daughters.

I’m excited about facilitating this workshop, as it provides a unique opportunity to learn alongside incredible educators. I’m really looking forward to embarking on this learning journey with all of you.

I can’t wait to meet you on October 3!

Warm regards,
Corita
