Module 3 Reflection

 

• How is my understanding of PYP principles and practices evolving?

I have really enjoyed this module, understanding more about student-led inquiry. I think that this is the way that students learn best!

• In what ways can I apply learning from this workshop in my own learning and teaching?

I will ensure that I ask questions and encourage students to ask questions throughout the learning process. This will enable me to adapt planning and enables students to become reflective practionioners.

• How is agency supported and nurtured through this workshop?

Agency is supported and nurtured through this workshop by giving the teacher the role of the facilitator.

By giving students choice and allowing decision making they are leading their own learning.
