For the past 9 years I have been an Early Years teacher, teaching children from 2 - 5 years old. Although I am new to PYP the ATL appear to be similar to the characteristics of effective learning that I have used as part of the EYFS. Through the workshop I hope to gain a deeper understanding of PYP and ATL. https://padlet.com/seldamansur/atl2017ISS/wish/180839477 2017-08-13 18:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/seldamansur/atl2017ISS/wish/180839477 Ab https://padlet.com/seldamansur/atl2017ISS/wish/180884424 2017-08-14 06:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/seldamansur/atl2017ISS/wish/180884424 How do we also make students more aware of the skills when assessing learning?Some units I use these with the students to assess their learning e.g social skills for team building. It would be good to use apply these more with students. https://padlet.com/seldamansur/atl2017ISS/wish/180884496 jo]]> 2017-08-14 06:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/seldamansur/atl2017ISS/wish/180884496 I agree with this statement. There is, therefore, a need to develop the Language skills of EAL students as quickly and thoroughly as possible. https://padlet.com/seldamansur/atl2017ISS/wish/180884512 2017-08-14 06:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/seldamansur/atl2017ISS/wish/180884512 https://padlet.com/seldamansur/atl2017ISS/wish/180887988 Katherine

We need to think about how we can now make this more explicit in our practice. I was very impressed with the MYP self management skills and am still wondering why the emotional skills are not listed as part of the PYP skills. https://padlet.com/seldamansur/atl2017ISS/wish/180929426 2017-08-14 14:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/seldamansur/atl2017ISS/wish/180929426 https://padlet.com/seldamansur/atl2017ISS/wish/180974794 2017-08-14 19:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/seldamansur/atl2017ISS/wish/180974794 EY relevant skills https://padlet.com/seldamansur/atl2017ISS/wish/181042379 accepting responsibility
