MONDAY Afternoon  

Half Day for Students, Teacher PD. We will work in cross school teams to reflect on learning and student experiences in school looking at parts of the school we often do not visit with people we often do not work with. 

Hopefully this will have us see the school the way an outside visiting might see it, and help us think about what happens in school in a way that is different from what we see in our daily routines.

See communication from Principals for more.

Friday Afternoon 

Extended Tutor time

PD and COLLABORATIVE MEETING

Weds: Department time, Extra lessons, Planning.

Weds afternoons are generally set aside for teachers to arrange extra lessons and collaborative planning.

With the visit coming up, we will use both Next Monday and Wednesday afternoon for staff meetings to help teachers understand what to expect and prepare collaboratively for the visit. Please plan accordingly.

This week’s message

Welcome Back! We have a lot happening over the next few weeks to prepare for the WASC IB Visit. An important reason for the visit is to have us reflect on student learning in our school. 

To help gain a better overview of things happening please see the different sections of this blog. On the top you will see tabs that can fill you in on the:

• Interdisciplinary units taught this year
• Building Quality Curriculum feedback over the past 3 years
• Service and Action Curriculum links this year
• ATL Progression and Planning Chart
• Feedback from Classroom Walkthroughs to improve instruction and learning

In addition, there is helpful information in the MYP-DP Teacher Guide. For example in the appendix of the guide you will find the Unit Completion Checklist for both MYP (P49) and DP (P52). These cheklists included detailed information about what to include in units.

Please take time to survey the table of contents to see if you can find answers to questions you have about our curriculum. There is alot of information in the guide including supporting information on strategies for Assessment, Differentiation, Teaching Concepts, and more.

Please use this in conjunction with the feedback on units from BQC. In many cases the feedback is very detailed, explicit, and helpful including guidance on how to enter information into the MB Unit Planner interface.

Have a great week,

Patrick, Ram, and......Ibu Danni!
