POLICY
‘Teachers can use the eight PYP key concepts—form, function, causation, change, connection, perspective, responsibility and reflection—to guide their own inquiries.’
‘consistent and coordinated practice that can be communicated, understood and undertaken by the whole school’, ‘plan collaboratively what form this integration will take’
‘What experiences teachers have had will shape their choices of resources, the learning experiences they design and how effectively they are able to support the development of each student’s understanding.’
With support and new year on the horizon, a scalable framework will be developed for the school. This will also serve as a roadmap for the next few years and be flexible enough to adapt to school expansion and growth.
‘By engaging in inquiry themselves, teachers will achieve a deeper understanding of the role ICT plays in learning and in society, and will also be models for their students by demonstrating that they too are learners.’
‘This integrated approach, to support teaching and learning using ICT’, ‘guided by the school’s beliefs and values about ICT and the PYP stance on how students learn best’
‘guided by the school’s beliefs and values about ICT and the PYP stance on how students learn best’
‘Teachers’ competence in the use of ICT is of key importance’, ‘Teachers’ interest in, and development of, ICT should be maintained through regular professional development, reading of professional journals and regular contact with educators in professional learning networks who share their commitment to the integration of ICT in the curriculum’
‘practice that can be communicated, understood and undertaken by the whole school’
