For PYPx teachers!
I just launched my new app designed especially for the PYP Exhibition process.
It brings tasks, meetings, journals, action, and research to one place.

Be sure to join me at #ToddleTIES on September 5 for a 2-hour session focused on demystifying inquiry. Together, we'll move beyond the myths & misconceptions to take a research-informed stance for intentional design.💖

@learnerfocused sharing thoughts about what coaches need to do: Get perspective: it’s not about you (the coach), it’s about them (the coachee). “Be responsive to emerging needs” rather than going in with a plan for the coachee. “Let go of control” #edFutureDigital

It was a pleasure to finally listen to @gcouros speak. So many inspiring ideas! I even won a prize! @toddle_edu #SchoolLeadersBootcamp #EdLeadership

🤩Watch what can happen when the students can see and hear how their seminar unfolded. Helping teachers make their classes more inclusive, one map at a time. #equitymaps… itunes.apple.com/us/app/equi…

Some of my firsties became super interested in starting a maker space after reading a book about turning trash into art. They planned, researched and organized and now we have a class maker space area. #ParksideDreamTeam #1LISD

I get so excited to see specialists integrating with units. This is our French team integrating with Grade 1: Who we are (CI: “Choices affect health and well being”) #experiencesisq #pyp #transdisciplinary #learning

Kindergarteners always amaze me🥰 In just a few short months, they have progressed from orally expressing their ideas to sharing what they know in written form. Kindie teachers are superheroes! #experiencesisq #kindergarten #ibpyp #inquirybasedlearning #observationaldrawings

We love using the PYPX guided planners!💕 G5 teachers have been working with each learner to ensure that they delve deep and come up with issues that really matter to them. @MsCindyPYP #pyp #pypx #inquiry #collaboration

Teachers letting go of “controlling” the learning happening in class is one of my favorite things to see🤩Two G4 learners offered to prepare and teach a Maths lesson (start to finish.) Their reflection afterwards: Wow! that is a lot of work for 1 lesson! #ownershipoflearning

At @GlobalKdsl 's Community Visioning last week, Cheryl Anne Weekes spoke about the importance of apologising to our students. And that's what I did this week. (1/2)
