Camp with gr 5-6 for 2 days! Love that there’s a bucket full of knives available for carving. #swedisheducation

Me: So if I have 1 and 1/4 of a pizza and Elsa comes over with a 1 pizza, what do we have? Elsa: a really great friendship

@lindajonsson74 I think next year I will have our gr 6 Ss be the mentors! It would be a great way to practice responsibility & follow up. I have always wanted it entirely Ss owned. We’ll see how it goes!

@PYPMajken Woohoo! Well done! 🥰 This was the first year I was NOT in charge of the Exhibition. I got to experience what it is like to be a mentor (for the exhibition) for the first time. 🥰

First ever #pypexhibition2021 complete for our candidate school! F2F, no masks, hands-on & not a single piece of trash created in the process as we focused on ensuring we walk the talk. Beaming with pride. My Ss are amazing!

Our Ss have first ever PYPX tonight... so too busy, but will try to get caught up later!

Spent the day on the ocean with a marine biologist learning about dependency & systems by doing a sampling of the ocean floor. I have the BEST job.

Ss are so creative with #arteducation when there’s free #inquiry. Focus is social skills from #ibpyp ATL

@trev_mackenzie Congratulations! What an achievement!!

And it’s done! #InquiryMindset Assessment Edition has been approved for print. I’ll share an updated timeline for availability soon. Thank you all for your continued support💕

Help you partner succeed & group decision making: focus on social skills as Ss in gr 4-5 create 3D flowers in art #atlskills @ibpyp

@EmmaInMaputo @loonyleabra @Mrs_Gilchrist On it! Give me a couple days and I’ll be back!

Q1: What similarities and differences do you notice between the ATL and ATT skills? #PYPchat

@Mrs_Gilchrist @SeanPYPParis @EmmaInMaputo It would be great to make a joint ATL packet or google folder where we can all share our resources

@PYPMajken @SeanPYPParis @EmmaInMaputo Important points, Majken. Many teams I'm working with are creating developmentally-focused microprogessions with students that include examples along with descriptors. The examples really bring clarity. #PYPchat

Q4: How might we document and monitor students’ progress in ATL? #PYPchat

@Mrs_Gilchrist A6 I’ve realized that it’s better to start off the unit & then see what we need to explicitly work on - split screen, writing them down, defining examples as a class, decide what does it look like, sound like.. all helps make it more concrete... and give time for Ss to reflect

Q6: How might you establish ATL explicitly throughout an inquiry? #PYPchat

@SeanPYPParis @Mrs_Gilchrist @EmmaInMaputo I’ve seen some teachers use “I can” statements and students color in but now that I think about it, the progression should possibly be blank and the students add samples throughout the years

@Mrs_Gilchrist A4: I'm looking forward to investigating @EmmaInMaputo's "I can" statements as criteria is needed. Involving the students themselves is key, so they consider what they can do, what they can't do YET and establish goals to work towards.

@Mrs_Gilchrist A3: we used the same two social skills for Art, PE and unit work in one week: making decisions together and helping your partner succeed. I can definitely improve in scaffolding but giving multiple opportunities in different context definitely gave positive outcomes

Q3: What does this look like in your context? #PYPchat

@loonyleabra @Mrs_Gilchrist @kjinquiry Split screen is a great way to make it visible for learners!

@Mrs_Gilchrist Q3: @kjinquiry has demonstrated how to do this effectively through a split screen approach. Q to ask when planning: Which outcome/s are we learning and which skill are we developing within this learning experience? How are students showing their understanding of a skill? #pypchat

@Mrs_Gilchrist A2 I think could be done better. I think it’s easy to get stuck on “fun activities” versus really analyzing ATT and seeing ways to improve.

Q2: In what ways does your school support implementation of and teacher reflection upon approaches to teaching? #PYPchat
