Inquiry, explores. experiments, makes connections, makes predications, collects data and reports, clarifies existing ideas, deepens understanding, makes and tests theories, researches and seeks theories, takes and defends positions and solves problem.]]> 2019-05-26 16:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/irinastanescu7/xe6m260c0tgo/wish/363559169 Focus irinastanescu7 https://padlet.com/irinastanescu7/xe6m260c0tgo/wish/363559362 The taught curriculum = the written curriculum in action = the direct reflection of the written curriculum.

Balance = the attention given both to the pursuit of understanding and the acquisition of knowledge and skills
Variety = the range of teaching and assessment strategies and resources used by teachers to meet the need of each student.
A PYP classroom is a lively place, characterised by collaborative and purposeful activity. An environment in which learning knows no limits. ]]> 2019-05-27 12:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/irinastanescu7/xe6m260c0tgo/wish/363745121 Role-players: tbezuidenhout https://padlet.com/irinastanescu7/xe6m260c0tgo/wish/363745953 Adults (teachers):
Teachers need to be familiar with child development and learning.
The teacher needs to provide a secure environment in which individuals are respected.
In the classroom the teacher facilitates the process of students becoming initiators rather then followers, to facilitate connections between prior knowledge and newly gained knowledge.
In EY:
Teachers of early years learners should be open to children’s wonderings and create relationships where children feel free to question and lead discussions, trusting that their perspectives are acknowledged and valued.
Relationships in the classroom are at the core of the taught curriculum in the PYP.
The taught curriculum in the early years is a dynamic process that can involve the significant adults* in children’s lives.

Engagement with the learning environment includes upholding shared values and developing a sense of ownership. Having created a learning environment that reflects both children’s and educators’ values, it is important to create routines, expectations and ways of being together that effectively support and promote those values
The learning environment should be a place where students feel comfortable to form strong, respectful relationships. ]]> 2019-05-28 07:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/irinastanescu7/xe6m260c0tgo/wish/363926780 Play tbezuidenhout https://padlet.com/irinastanescu7/xe6m260c0tgo/wish/363927711 In play, children incorporate all their knowledge and skills as they interact with others and with their environment. 
During play and other moments, teachers mediate between the every day and the scientific, leading children from their everyday or working theories towards academic concepts.
The role of the educator is to support children as they generate ideas and theories through play, and to challenge their thinking to lead them to deeper learning.]]> 2019-05-28 08:01:35 UTC https://padlet.com/irinastanescu7/xe6m260c0tgo/wish/363927711 These essential learning elements below (in the "written curriculum" ) is directly reflected in taught curriculum mokw2 https://padlet.com/irinastanescu7/xe6m260c0tgo/wish/364006727 Knowledge
