MYP: 

The IB office needs to gather information on all teachers’ qualifications and IB authorized PD. Pak ram has sent a link to a form to be filled in for DP teachers already. When this is complete, a link will be sent to all teachers teaching MYP.

BQC

At the end of last year HODs gathered two units for BQC. These are currently being shared with the IB. We can expect feedback in Dec.

Here is an excerpt from the overall feedback from last October’s submission:

“Most of the teachers at Global Jaya School have developed rich statements of inquiry that have the potential to support transferable understanding and direct purposeful learning. The statements of inquiry are communicated in student-friendly language that invites inquiry and engagement.”

“The units reviewed demonstrate that most teachers are familiar with the current subject guides and include prescribed concepts, contexts and some approaches to learning skills in their planning”

Things we want to focus on are:

Resources: One theme that appeared often was about the importance storing resources in the unit planner.

Reflection: Another theme is the importance of providing full and complete explanations of what is happening in the unit, including in the reflection sections.
