Loved hearing Meg Durham’s thoughts on student wellbeing at #IBGC2024. It’s a global issue and giving students more and more and more is not the answer!

As we head into Day 2 of the IB Global Conference, Daegu, check out some of the pre-conference and opening session sights and sounds! Unable to attend? Follow #IBGC2024 for highlights as we explore this year’s theme: “Inspiring learners, realizing potential”.

Alumna @rosie_jon recently returned to campus to share her inspirational and extraordinary story with our students. Born uniquely without arms, Rosie's courage, perseverance, and faith, combined with her unique gift of painting, have led to an extraordinary life. #sfs1912

The perfect day at @SFS1912 to partner with @adidas @adidaskorea to join in on the #RunForTheOceans #plogging initiative. The students had the opportunity reflect on how we can #takeaction to support the natural world. @AboutJulian Thank you for inspiring us! #ibpyp

The most wonderful time of the year. PYP Exhibition: A celebration of our students’ #inquirycycle and #learningjourney in the Elementary School at @SFS1912. So inspired. Ready to #takeaction! #ibpyp #pypexhibition

How often do you talk about wellness and not have the actual time to build it into the school day? Today, our classes in the Elementary School at @SFS1912 will plan their own #Wellnessday. #studentagency #studentvoicechoiceownership

A strong reminder that we still have a lot of work to do as we unpack the complexities of international schools. Only one piece of the puzzle is moving towards more equitable and inclusive language policies. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

#Tellafairytaleday 2022. Grade 3 writers enjoyed inquiring into #classicfairytales and #shared how they adapted traditional fairytales to make them more modern, inclusive, socially just. And of course, dressed up accordingly 😉#writers @SFS1912

In celebration of International Mother Language Day, students brought in books in their mother language to share with their peers. We loved the opportunity to celebrate linguistic and cultural diversity in our very own classroom. @SFS1912 #internationalmotherlanguageday2022

@seura_park @SFS1912 @Power5books Oh yes, and he was so inspiring! 🤩 Big thanks to you, @seura_park for sharing the opportunity!💕

@jcyoo23 @SFS1912 I’m happy to hear it went successfully! Jamie is truly talented but more than anything he has the heart of gold @Power5books

Students at @SFS1912 were excited to meet Mr. Jamie Yorke, #author of #Thepowerfive speak to us about his stories inspired by #thirdculturekids and #internationalschools. We were not only inspired as writers, but was able to make #strongconnections with the characters.

Magic happens when you #involveparents in the #inquiryprocess. Mr. Ed Holmes, @SFS1912 parent and representative of #LOreal Korea spoke to our students about the #exploration and innovation of L’Oreal as a company, and challenged students to find #sustainablesolutions for our 🌏.

@seura_park Such incredible work happening in South Korean public schools! #ibpypkorea

So exciting to see Korea’s 3rd IB educator certificate program is launched today! Hope this could plant the IBseeds across the nation! #DLDPKorea #IBEC #educationforfuture

#Assessmentcapablepractitioners encourage students to become #assessmentcapablelearners. Students #reflect on their progress and set goals for future learning by #selfassessing and #selfadjusting! @ibpyp @SFS1912 #ibpyp #assessment #goalsetting #evidencinglearning

No matter how brilliantly executed the mini lesson, if the child is holding a book he can’t read during independent reading time, the teaching won’t transfer. Prioritize smarter book shopping and matching books to readers in order for mini lessons to stick.

Hanbok Day @SFS1912. A way to celebrate our host country #Korea and its rich heritage and culture. A day for students to have fun playing #traditionalkoreangames also featured on #squidgame. 🇰🇷 #ttakji
