Persona Challenges by Lisa https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7 Made with charisma en-us 2022-01-26 20:55:13 UTC 2022-02-11 14:08:08 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f914.png I would first walk them through what concept based learning is all about. I'd share the connection between how we've shifted teaching mathematics the past ten years. I think hooking the new learning to that would be helpful. Next, I would have them review units of study that are based on concept based learning. We'd dissect this as a team and would talk about the benefits of this style of teaching and learning. https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2041151186 2022-02-10 20:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2041151186 Create space and time for transdisciplinary planning guided by an individual who will model the process by which to extend the thinking and broaden conceptual understanding. https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2041294925 2022-02-10 22:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2041294925 Consider creating a transdisciplinary unit together. Create a process by which units are shared and discussed with teachers of single subjects - seeking to create bridges wherever possible to extend concept-driven inquiry. https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2041296103 2022-02-10 22:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2041296103 Taking your teacher leaders to another school to see IB in action if possible would be huge for them to see the difference or showing a video to the staff that shows an inquiry lesson in action would help them to see what it looks like and how powerful it is https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2041324604 2022-02-10 23:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2041324604 Every week my IB coordinator has a meeting with our teachers, and helps them map the units of inquiry, and deepens the understanding. She also supports them in the classroom. https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2042409401 2022-02-11 13:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2042409401 Through flyer, informational sessions, parent visits, positive emails sent home, showcasing how students work is the result of IB learning. https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2042419663 2022-02-11 13:55:31 UTC https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2042419663 PLC https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2042431908 Sessions provided during PLC to promote PYP collaboration between teams regarding PYP big rocks.

This is often difficult when teachers are not in the same grade level but offering a unit planning session where they are given the time to develop the unit together is key. ]]> 2022-02-11 14:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2042438224 Communication https://padlet.com/liskstew/kt6isx6zc4sqlkg7/wish/2042445766 Parent meetings are going to be key.
