Another Mentor Meet!

Today we discussed what information we would have in our venn diagrams. We also came up with a unique way to make our venn diagrams pop out. We found an inquiry cycle, which we'd be using throughout our research. We started the Women Right Square activity and also started planning our 1st formative assessment. Today was a progressive day!


5 Essential Elements of PYP


5 Essential Elements of the IB - PYP Curriculum

In the PYP a balance is sought between acquistion of essential knowledge and skills, development of conceptual understanding, demonstration of positive attitudes, and taking of responsible action.

 

1.  KNOWLEDGE

  • Significant, relevant subject matter that we wish students to explore and know about.

2.  CONCEPTS

  • Powerful ideas that have relevance within and across the disciplines and which students must explore and re-explore in order to develop understanding.

3.  SKILLS

  • Those things the students need to be able to to do to succeed in a challenging world.

4.  ATTITUDES

  • Dispositions which are expressions of fundamental values, beliefs, and feeling about learning, the environment, and people.

5.  ACTION

  • Demonstrations of deeper learning in responsible behavior through positive action and service; a manifestation in practice on the other essential elements.

Our Inquiry Cycle

Each group has to follow one inquiry cycle, we chose to follow John Dewey's.
