@jadeegardner Lovely :)

Sharing our process

@TristanPYP @beckycarlzon @kjinquiry @watnunu @Shailjajdatt @kirtidakale What is a natural way of learning that can be integrated in our teaching practices? I love wondering, all the time and in different contexts. I inquire, I make a plan on how to find answers and I pursue it. Inquiry is the way I understand the world around me.

@beckycarlzon @kjinquiry @watnunu @E_zerai @Shailjajdatt @kirtidakale What are your thoughts?

The new teaching staff @NISChina dove into the collaborative planning process in the PYP using @ProjectZeroHGSE thinking routines to document our thinking. #IB #PYP #ProfessionalDevelopment #NISInspires #Education #Learning #Teaching

It was definitely more intense than expected! Go Lions!

New start, new beginnings! Let's go @NISChina ! #pyp

@thinkchat2020 Just listened to C138, it was great to hear some of these myths and reflect my own approach towards collaboration with Specialists. We need to avoid just "cooperating", as you said, and we (HRTs) need to also be open-minded and mindful. Looking forward to the next installments!

Facilitated the IB workshop "Learning and Teaching for Conceptual Understanding" at the @EuropeanSchool5 Tbilisi this week. The participants were open-minded, creative thinkers, demonstrating how dedicated, life-long learning is key! #PYP #ibpyp #concepts #KnowDoUnderstand

Today we used the "dimosomethingmeters(!)" to explore how simple machines help us in our everyday life. We will continue investigating mechanical advantage scenarios as we build our understanding while developing research skills. #inquiry #pyp #howtheworldworks #atls

Supporting literacy skills by giving students the tools to explore non-fiction texts in their pace and building confidence along the way! How do you support independence and agency in reading? Always referring to @JSerravallo work :) #pyp #literacy #reading #strategies #agency

It is important to investigate alternatives and capabilities of different tools. I have very positive first impressions of the various options provided by @magicschoolai and I will continue exploring :) #AI #inquirers #education

First day back to school for 2024! Today we focused on writing, based on our Scope and Sequence. Moderation is an integral part of assessment in the PYP. We reflected on our own practices and how to enhance student learning. #pyp #assessment #moderation #narratives #pypchat

Heading back to Sweden after a great time with friends and family in Greece! Truly grateful for all the memories and with hopes for an even greater year than 2023. Here is the first read for 2024! Any more suggestions? #2024

Dear all, happy holidays and merry Christmas, if you are celebrating! Take care of each other!

@jadeegardner Great job! We are inquiring into access to water in our next unit, we hope to get some inspired actions too!

Ss chose how they wanted to take action this unit, focused on the global water crisis. Loved the diversity of projects - artivism, short stories, a poem from the perspective of a river, interviews. #uoi #5thgrade #choice

Nice to see a great example of student agency from your school being featured in the SharingPYP blog! @ibpyp #action #agency #empathy blogs.ibo.org/sharingpyp/202…

Let's try to rethink how we celebrate student agency. @thinkchat2020's podcast is a great start for the school year 😀

Such an amazing session by #ibpyp Exchange! Must watch!

@HughesTokyo @ibpyp @SAISSingapore Thank you for sharing the process of creating something meaningful for your context. It definitely made me look differently at how schools can utilize the Key Concepts in ensuring deep, meaningful connections.

If you missed the @ibpyp IB Exchange session on how we at @SAISSingapore have aligned lines of inquiry to key concepts and phases of inquiry you can watch here tinyurl.com/3c5xm4mn This approach provides clarity for students & teachers and scaffolds student thinking #pypchat

@Mrs_Gilchrist Even though I didn't contribute as much as I would want, I definitely got inspired by all the amazing thoughts that were shared throughout the year! Looking forward to more discussions next year! Thank you to all the moderators of #pypchat ! Have a great summer!

Thanks so much for joining us! On behalf of the entire #PYPchat team, we wish you a fantastic summer holiday! 💗💗 See you in August!
