ABOUT ME...

INTRODUCTIONS AND GETTING TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER

You need your Wander & Wonder grids + a writing implementRules of playWander around the room and ask a different participant one of the following questions:(be sure to write their names and replies in each box on the grid.) No one should be asked twice.

What color do you feel like today and why?

What are you passionate about?

What makes you go quiet?

Name someone you admire and tell why.

What are you most proud of and why.

What is your strongest method of learning (give some examples)

What questions do you have about the PYP?

Name something you long to do but haven’t quite managed to do yet.

What has been a tough learning experience for you and why?

What do you love about teaching?

USE THE STICKER ON THE FRONT OF YOUR BOOKLET TO REGROUP; MEET WITH THOSE OF THE SAME COLOR STICKERS. DISCUSS.

Definition: How is the PYP defined?

The IB Primary Years Programme, for students aged 3 to 12 focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. It is a framework guided by six transdisciplinary themes of global significance, explored using knowledge and skills derived from six subjects areas, as well as transdisciplinary skills, with a powerful emphasis on inquiry- based learning.

Learners constructing meaning: How is the PYP curriculum defined? Three interrelated components expressed in the form of three open-ended questions.

Written curriculum Taught curriculum Assessed curriculum

This is a model whereby all threecomponents inform each other.

WHAT IS CURRICULUM?

PYP defines curriculum as ‘broad and inclusive’–The Written Curriculum – commitment to continuous

school improvement

–The Taught Curriculum – equal emphasis to methodology

–The Learned Curriculum – assesses the actual learning and reminds us of our original purpose

The PYP definition of curriculum includes all three components

SESSION 5 - IB’S ONLINE CURRICULUM CENTER

Please sit in your ‘expert’ group: Forums, E-library/News, Exhibition, Resources, Support Areas

EXPERT GROUPS

Discuss your findings, what you learned about that area.

What were some things that could be helpful?

Keep the people in your home group in mind.

What do you want to share with your home group?

Decide how best to share that information to your home group.

How much time do you need?

SHARING WHAT WE LEARNED

Return to your home group

Take turns round the table to share the area you explored on the OCC

Take notes on each section as your group mates share what they learning; something you could refer back to.

Now you should have some of the pieces to the puzzle of the OCC!

Grade 3 Multiplication Facts Teacher Driven

•  Memorize each fact

•  Testing

•  Mad minutes •  Fact families – moving

towards inquiry but allow for discovery first.

•  Emphasis on the answer rather than understanding

Inquiry

•  Body maths – rows in a cinema which is best? 1x20, 20x1, 2x10, 10x2, 5x4 or 4x5? Is it the best for a bus?

Key Points

The Structure of Knowledge

Barry’s clipart.com

KNOWLEDGEIs it possible to identify a particular body of knowledge for international schools?

The PYP recognizes that it would be inappropriate to attempt to define any narrow, fixed body of knowledge as essential content which every student should know. Accepting this, the task has been approached from a different perspective.

Rather than designing a fixed syllabus, the PYP has set out to identify transdisciplinary themes –

areas of knowledge – which:

• have significance for all students, all cultures

• offer students the opportunity to explore knowledge which is of genuine importance in understanding the human condition

• address the fields which form the traditional disciplines but present these in a way which transcends these disciplines, therefore facilitating transdisciplinary planning and teaching

• will be revisited throughout the student’s years of schooling, the end result being an articulated curriculum content, from pre-kindergarten to secondary school

To develop the intellect and increase motivation for

learning, curriculum and instruction must create a

“synergy” between the lower (factual) and higher

(conceptual) levels of thinking.

Open the envelope on your table and have a

look at the questions inside.

What do you notice about them?

How could you categorize them?

Factual Questions:Why was the holocaust a significant event in world history?What beliefs did Hitler hold that drove his actions?Why is Hitler’s persecution of the Jewish people considered inhumane?

Conceptual Questions:

What examples of humanity can you cite from our world today?

What acts of humanity can you cite from our present-day world?

How are beliefs, values, and perspectives related to views of humanity and inhumanity?

Provocative (Debate, or Essential) Question:

Can one be inhumane and civilized at the same time?

1. Think of two specific topics you teach.

2. Choose potential lenses for each topic (you can use the list on the

table)

Do the lenses change the focus or add a dimension for thinking about

the topic?

Which lens do you find most engaging (or challenging) for your topic?

When we teach to the levels of concepts and

generalizations we are teaching for deep

understanding and the transfer of knowledge.
