Creating the culture - modelling/embedding.


The Learner profile drives the learning.

In this way, teachers will be able to see themes between and among disciplines rather than teach isolated subject areas.

There is a need for consistency with a blend of authenticity that the IB framework helps provide.

e.g. Communicators - facilitate a class to develop this attribute, how do you measure or know they are successful with this attribute


Embedding ten attributes authentically


As PYP co-ordinators how do we ensure the learner profile is being developed and built on each year and the kura is successful.

Examples of superficial element would be talking about how different cultures use light to celebrate, or displaying international flags in the classroom.


In all of our choices, we need to follow with an action within international mindedness. In addition, we need to make sure that we create teams that are multi-lingual and multi-cultural.

We need to review our current practices and assess the areas that need tweaking to align while encouraging teachers to be open- minded and becoming risk takers

How do teachers begin to teach transdisciplinary subject matter rather than teaching subjects in isolation? How do we help teachers rethink the way they assess their students?

Teachers will need to look at different forms of assessment - in particular, standards-based assessment - and assessment tools.

The leaders of IB will need to become well-versed in what concept-based teaching means and looks like.
