Session 2 | I Used to think.... now I think.... by Kristine Adelsboell https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq Add your thinking here. en-us 2018-03-10 22:46:33 UTC 2026-03-03 16:03:28 UTC hello@padlet.com I used to think that the IB would publish assessment objectives for each of the middle school years. Now, I realize that there are guidelines for years 1,3 and 5. tom_clarke1 https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243040694 2018-03-17 06:48:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243040694 Year 1, 3, 5 https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243040726 I used to think that Years 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 would have individual strands per year. Now, I understand that it is more streamlined for have individual strands for three of the five years. It also allows for schools to plan their transitions between strands as "soft" or "hard." ]]> 2018-03-17 06:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243040726 I used to think it would be great to have content handed to me... Now I see the wisdom of different schools in different countries and cultures having the liberty to select content that is more relevant to their own students. paulblucas https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243040775 2018-03-17 06:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243040775 pazaway_ianmark07 https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243040843 I used to think that as a mother tongue teacher, I will just focus on teaching Filipino literature genres. Now I think that exposing them to different genres in world literature will definitely make them love reading and literature.  

I used to think that we teachers can create our own objectives and definitions of each skills. Now I know that it should be standardized and progressive. ]]> 2018-03-17 06:50:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243040843 https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243040886 I used to think the command terms for the objectives are more or less similar to every curriculum framework/ curriculum. Now, I understand that IB command terms maybe different and more explicit than thise I read before in HK curriculum. Moreover, not only the teacher should be familiar with the terms, it's also possible to provide visible definition for students who are expected to achieve these objectives ]]> 2018-03-17 06:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243040886 Command Terms https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243040910 I used to think that online dictionaries were the best resources for students to define words like ANALYZE, COMMENT, and CREATE, but the IB has a useful glossary for these words that are tailored by course.]]> 2018-03-17 06:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243040910 Aligning Curriculum and Objectives https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243041010 I used to think that the MYP had a preferred list of texts to teach. Now, I understand that the school provides a culturally responsive curriculum that aligns with the objectives and strands of the IB.]]> 2018-03-17 06:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243041010 I used to think we could find our content from the sources in our library. Now I think i will be exploring the web to find different publishers, different authors around the world, and even use translations from different languages to expose my students to different perspectives. This will be a welcome , though time consuming, challenge! paulblucas https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243041152 2018-03-17 06:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243041152 Interdisciplinary Units https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243041179 I used to think that interdisciplinary units were the "icing on the cake" or the "cherry on top" that is impressive extra. Now, I understand that is essential and required by the IB.]]> 2018-03-17 06:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kadelsboell/o5jlabou0vwq/wish/243041179
