MYP / DP
Curriculum mapping from the DP to MYP in Language A
| This workshop is designed for vertical teams from high schools with the MYP and Diploma programme in Humanities. The goal of the workshop is to facilitate the articulation between the programmes in order to increase student participation and success in the DP. The workshop will draw on the Backward Curriculum Map Teacher Support Materials developed by IB Americas as a guide for teachers to plan their own local curriculum. The non-prescriptive maps include a progression of skills for grades 9-12, assessment and scaffolding ideas, and MYP units and course outlines. Schools are strongly advised to send a team consisting of least one MYP and one DP teacher. |
PYP / MYP
Developing Effective Teams: Collaborate, Consult and Connect
| This workshop will encourage Administrators, IB Coordinators, Special Needs Coordinators, MYP and DP Counselors to exam what it takes to build collaborative workshop relationships within the framework of working in an IB World School. An overview of both the challenges and benefits of collaboration will be explored as well as understanding how individual viewpoints can be preserved, combined and expanded, thereby resulting in more effective decision and problem solving. Taking a closer look at some of the key factors that can interfere with the productive outcomes will be explored: what are the specific interests, concerns and goals behind the positions of Counselor, IB Coordinator or Special Needs Coordinator? How can these different groups successfully address and overcome obstacles to effective collaboration? Understanding the different roles and responsibilities, the common interests, concerns and goals is where we begin. Moving into strategies for effective communication skills, team building, and problem solving, using real case studies is where participants will have structured opportunities to apply the nuts and bolts of collaborative teaming. |
PYP / MYP / DP
