Self Care for Teachers

Bron Gowty

Social, Emotional and Spiritual (SES) care has positive effects on stress levels, it increases self-belief, emotional resilience and can enhance our relationship with ourselves and others.

When challenges arise, having the necessary skills available will support our actions, reactions and decisions we make. It allows us to recognise what is acceptable, what brings us joy and what is our life’s purpose.

• Social and emotional development allows us to develop effective skills that promote self-worth, emotional awareness and positive relationships.
• Spiritual care focuses on our need to love and feel loved, the need to feel a sense of belonging and hope, encourages peace and gratitude which can enhance your day and the interactions you have with others.

Often people align spiritual care with a religion but they are not always connected. For many people they find direction through a religion, but most people are able to connect with the idea of spirit for themselves. Considering the big life question of what it means to be human is a perfect example of spiritual connection.

I believe it is important to place a priority on yourself before being able to care for others. Weather your role is a teacher, parent or care-giver to another, taking time to care for your SES aspects of life will strengthen your relationships with others along with yourself.

Self-care is not selfish nor is it time consuming. Taking time for yourself is not a luxury but an essential.

Join me as we spend an hour focusing on you, I can’t wait to meet you.

21st Century Skills

If School is the Answer, What was the Question

Kevin Bartlett

An inquiry into learning as a living ecosystem
In this interactive session we’ll take a fresh look at the thing we call school and ask what schools are actually for. We’ll then explore five simple, powerful questions that can help us redesign schools as coherent, connected learning ecosystems with lifeworthy learning outcomes. We won’t just explore questions, we’ll examine practical, powerful answers.

Gradeless Classrooms

Leila Abaza

What if you knew that some aspect of education damaged students’ motivation, growth mindset, relationships with their teachers, and performance on standardized exams? Wouldn’t you do everything in your power to eliminate or at least limit these impacts? And yet, we now know that these are all effects of grading. In this session, we will explore these effects and provide viable alternatives for more humane, effective approaches to assessment, feedback, and reporting that help students grow beyond grades. This Webinar will be of interest to teachers and school leaders of the elementary through high school and higher education levels.

ATLs in Practice

Nermeen Abu Assaf

A deliberate approach to unpack the ATL skills, create a continuum and explicitly provide teaching strategies to enhance learning and teaching will be the focus during the webinar.

How to promote problem solving approaches in the classroom?

Tala Massarweh

This session will address some strategies to promote problem solving in the classrooms. We will explore a set of questions that could help students and educators to promote this important skill in the classroom environment. How to build mind habits to help nurture problem solving skills?

Problem solving can be defined as the “act of defining a problem; determining the cause of the problem; identifying, prioritizing, and selecting alternatives for a solution; and implementing a solution” Problem solving is not as simple as it appears. It can be affected by different personalities, cognitive biases, peer interactions and assumptions could affect the decision-making process. Situational awareness is key to the process of making decisions.

Practical application of ATLs in the homeroom

Rachel Poulton

In this session we will explore how we can address marrying content based learning outcomes with Atl’s/21st century skills.

A Unit of Inquiry will lend itself easily to embedding atl’s, the standalone areas are potentially more challenging, particularly for those who transition from a more formal background.

What are these skills and why are they so necessary?

How do we ensure that we are planning and providing opportunities for the development of skills?

How can we continue to be faithful to this provision when faced with external pressures?

Are there some ways we can help teachers effectively prepare learning experiences?

How do we help learners become aware of the skills and explicitly self reflect?

The session will explore some practical approaches to blending 21st century skills into areas that are less commonly viewed as transdisciplinary.

The role of assessment in teaching and learning processes

Rola Hallak

Online learning during Covid-19 pandemic has created the challenge of evidencing learning and collecting reliable data about the development of what students know, understand, and can do. Therefore, assessment has witnessed a shift towards more realistic tasks that require learners to use and apply knowledge they can easily have access to. During this session, participants will explore the role of assessment in teaching and learning processes, examine the attributes of assessment-capable teachers and learners, and get engaged in strategies of effective and authentic assessment practices that might better define an assessment culture.

Using Assessment to Improve Learning Outcomes

James Nottingham

‘Assessment for learning’ can have a significantly positive effect on student learning. However, the effects are also wildly variable, with one third of studies showing a negative outcome! Added to that, 80% of the verbal comments that students receive during the day to help them assess their own progress comes not from teachers but from other students – and most of it is wrong! So, imagine if we could address these problems and improve the reality for all students! That is what James will show in his presentation.

What if we Assessed our Assessments?

Fanny Passeport

What might be some ways we can reflect on our own assessments in order to refine our designs and continue to shape a learning culture in our classrooms so all learners can demonstrate what they know, understand and are able to do.
In this session, we will explore the 5W of what makes quality assessment. We will inquire, reflect and commit to action in order to make our assessments learning-friendly and impactful.

The session will lead into the course on “autonomy-supportive feedback”.

Feedback to Feedforward

Hala Sweilem

Effective feedback is fundamental to the educational field. As teachers or leaders, it is essential that we provide consistent and prompt feedback to ensure measurable progress.
What are the underlying principles of effective feedback?
How do we provide feedback that is impactful?
Why does feedback improve assessment outcomes?
In this session, we will discuss, explore and evaluate feedback practices that enhance assessment outcomes.

Effective Online Assessments

Rezuan Chowdhury and Asnaha Farheen

This webinar will enable teachers to gain a deeper understanding of assessment processes and give practical strategies for creating effective online/offline assessments.

Unconventional Assessments for an Unconventional World

Sarah Burvill

During this webinar we will explore some unconventional assessments strategies and check the benefits of these strategies.

We are the change

Education for Sustainable Development

Bringing the SDGs to LIFE

Cathryn Berger Kaye and Shei Ascencio

Can we integrate the Sustainable Development Goals into everyday teaching and learning? Can youth develop fluidity in how they think about the SDGs and how they move from ideas to action? Together we will show strategies that build understanding and connections. See how the Five Stages of Service Learning guide the process of identifying authentic community needs and opportunities for contributions in our own backyards.

Teaching SDGs

Douha Jemai

I teach SDGs to engage my students on global issues, and especially taking action locally, can spark exciting projects and build global awareness in them… Students who understand these local-global connections are building their understanding of issues facing the world today, developing compassion for the world around them, and discovering the power of taking action…

والتعليم

Global Citizenship

Bhavna Mathew

In this rapidly changing world it is crucial to establish a partnership in building socially responsible citizens. Through education the objective of understanding rights and responsibilities can be addressed which can support learners to be mindful global citizens . The session will focus on the importance of being responsible and some innovative ideas to achieve the Global Goals.

أهداف التنمية المستدامة

Fatima Abu Najem

شاع مؤخّراً الحديث عن أهداف التّنمية المستدامة (SDGs) بشكل كبير، فلا تكاد تخلو خطط المؤسّسات الكبرى أو المنظّمات العالميّة من ذكر هذه الأهداف، كما تسعى الجهات الحكوميّة في دول العالم المختلفة إلى ربط خططها المستقبليّة بهذه الأهداف، فما المقصود بالتّنمية المستدامة وما أهدافها؟ وكيف نشأت؟وما دورها في في بناء الخطط والأهداف؟ وكيف ترتبط هذه الأهداف بالتّربية والتّعليم؟ وهل يمكننا نحن كمعلمين أن ندرجها في خططنا وممارستنا اليوميّة. هذا ما سوف نسلّط عليه الضّوء خلال لقائنا، إضافة إلى مشاركة عدد من الأمثلة العمليّة وممارسات من أرض الواقع الّتي توضّح دورنا كشركاء أساسيين في تحقيق (أهداف التنمية المستدامة)

Teaspoons of Change

d’Arcy Lunn

Teaspoons of Change are personal choices, decisions and actions that have a positive impact on people and the planet creating positive change. It tries to give a name and meaning to those seemingly unimportant actions that don’t feel significant at a personal level. I often say “be the change you CAN’T see in the world” because it is hard to measure that plastic bottle of water you didn’t buy or the coal saved by turning off the AC for sleeping at night.

In this session we will go through some of the tips and tricks to bring big concepts like global citizenship, the SDGs, sustainability and more, to a personal and practical context so we can feel we are the change in our own lives and the world.

Back to School

Welcome back to school

Maike Silver

Following a difficult year shaped by Covid19 school- reopening needs to be carefully planned. This welcome back to school session will focus on 3 key questions.

What team-building activities can help set the tone for our leadership team and/or teachers?
How might do we engage leadership/ teachers in school-wide goal setting?
Whether we open face-to-face or online, how do we address the well-being of our students and teachers?

Getting “Worldwise”: Courageous Teaching to Transform our Classrooms for a Post-COVID World

Carla Marschall

During this time of social and ecological uncertainty, how can education be a humanizing force that prepares students as knowledgeable, compassionate, and engaged local and global citizens? As we begin our school year, this webinar explores ways that we can support our students in meeting the challenges and opportunities of living in our complex, interconnected post-COVID world. In particular, it will consider the role of learning aimed to nurture students’ global competence, or knowledge, skills, conceptual understandings, and dispositions needed to understand and act on complex human and environmental challenges. This is supported in democratic classrooms where students have ownership over their learning, authentic opportunities for decision making, and high levels of agency. As we start the year, let’s ensure our diverse students are seen, inspired, and empowered to create positive change in their communities and beyond.

Back To School in the Early Years-Laying The Foundations

Lynn White

The start of the school year is a great time to reflect on the community and culture we wish to create for our youngest learners. This session will explore establishing relationships and building a sense of community, beginning of year procedures/systems and setting up a learning environment conducive to inquiry. This will be very much a sharing session with participants being asked to share their thoughts, ideas and experiences at key points so we have great take-aways to begin the year with!

FENG SHUI: a smooth start for important results in your classroom

Cristiano Falconi

In this webinar we will know the basics of feng shui and how to design your classroom. We will share info about: colors, setting and general feng shui tips.

Creating a Classroom Culture of Curiosity: Surefire Techniques for Engagement & Deeper Learning

Dr. Wendy L. Ostroff

We learn by engaging and exploring, asking questions and testing out answers. Yet our classrooms are not always places where such curiosity is encouraged and supported. In this webinar, Dr. Wendy Ostroff will help participants plan out a student-centered environment that allows for openness and surprise, where inquiry guides authentic learning. We will consider current cognitive science and neuroscience findings showing that curiosity releases dopamine, and activates the hippocampus (remembering) and prefrontal cortex (executive functions); sustains intrinsic motivation; and showing that extra curious children exhibit related cognitive gains.

We will discuss ways to cultivate curiosity for diverse learners, including sharing power via emergent curriculum; modeling student curiosity through exploration, novelty, and play; for allowing autonomy, intrinsic motivation, imagination and creativity within structure; for supporting questioning and critical thinking; and for bolstering experimentation and problem solving by deliberately opening up time and space. This workshop will challenge the notion of a hierarchical classroom, and instead generate ideas to harness the powerful drive in all learners—the drive to know, understand, and experience the world in a meaningful way.

Different Perspectives on Agency

Re-Imagining Personalized Learning to Empower Learner Agency

Barbara Bray

We are born curious and learn every day. Yet, in school and through our lives, we may be told what and how we need to learn. This session will invite you to ask who owns the learning and why we need to end teaching to the average. Barbara will walk you through Universal Design for Learning, why everyone can build their one personal learning backpack, and review how to address teaching and learning approaches so learners have a voice and choice Join Barbara to bring back curiosity and develop learner agency by reimagining new ways of teaching and learning in uncertain times.

Developing Relationships in Your Classroom to Increase Agency

Dr. Ilene Winokur

Developing Relationships in Your Classroom to Increase Agency and Improve Outcomes

Why do we need Belonging before Bloom? How can creating relationships with students increase student agency and improve outcomes? Feeling like you belong is relational and increases self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-efficacy which transfers into agency. When teachers value students for their uniqueness by getting to know them, listening to their stories, helping them create relationships with them and their peers they are motivated to participate, take risks with their learning, and improve their learning outcomes. This presentation will share different ways to ensure a safe, accepting, inclusive environment for all students to feel a sense of belonging.

Agency through the culture of thinking in early years

Samah Abou Ghazal

This webinar will shed the light on empowering young learners to become active agents and thinkers, where they lead their own learning, and develop thier thinking dispositions. In the webinar, we will define what is agency and see the impacts of raising autonomous learners on the learning process. Establishing an environment conducive to thinking and learning will give the children a voice with what and how they want to learn.
We will look at a documentation of a unit that will help us see agency in action.
Fostering a culture of thinking will promote a sense of agency within the classroom environment where thinking becomes the core of learning, and the teacher becomes a consultant in the process.

Teacher agency

Karen Crooke

Teacher Agency is a redundant term as far as I am concerned. Developing and building an agentic environment that supports all learners is the key to educational change. In the time we have, I hope to share some thoughts and wonderings about the alignment of agency to pedagogy and accountability, the “collective good” and teacher wellbeing. I have asked four members of our team to share their experiences and I would like to finish off with some misconceptions – without putting a damper on it’s importance and relevance to 21st C education.

Becoming Agentic Educators

Lu Gerlach

As educators, we are making non-stop decisions throughout the day about what and how ideas are shared. In this workshop, we are going to explore how to share that decision-making process with our students, so they can develop their agentic thinking. This is a process and it requires us to be intentional and release some of the control. Are you ready to become an agentic educator?

Bilingual Education

Learning Through Language: The Beauty of Language Immersion Schools

Maria Abad & Bodo Heiliger

Children constantly work to understand the world around them and also have those in the world around them understand them. This desire to make sense of themselves and the world provides the foundation for children to be immersed in an additional language, not only to become fluent in another language but to develop cultural fluency. At The International School in Portland, Oregon, USA, children are fully immersed in one of the three languages of instruction, Mandarin, Japanese, and Spanish. In this session, participants will engage in a case study of The International School, where they will engage in learning the structures, practices, and policies to ensure that children experience powerful concept-driven and play-based learning environments across all classrooms.

Learning Together through Inquiry

Provocation – a doorway to Inquiry

Sonia Singh

Provocations are found at the start of an inquiry to provoke thoughts, ideas and ignite curiosity. Provocations allow teachers to gain an insight into what the students know and where to take the learning experiences into the future. Good engaging provocations spark a lot of learning opportunities leading to engaging questions, powerful discussions and paving a way to inquire further. As a true PYP educator, reflecting and refining our provocations is something that is critical to developing student’s learning and sparking curiosity. What are some of your favourite provocations? I will be sharing some of my favourite ones with you that led to questions and engagements for deeper learning.

تقنية صياغة الأسئلة

Rawan Merie

إن القدرة على طرح الأسئلة والإجابة عليها أمر أساسي في عملية التعلم. حيث أن مهارة طرح الأسئلة تعتبر وسيلة رئيسة نكشف من خلالها معرفة الطلبة السابقة، ونحدد الثغرات في الفهم والمعرفة لديهم. هذه التقنية بسيطة ويمكن تطبيقها على جميع الفئات العمرية من الروضة وحتى الصف الثاني عشر، لما لها من تأثير قوي في اكتساب الطلبة لمهارات التفكير العليا والفهم والتعلم مدى الحياة.

From Guided to Student-led inquiry

Sally Saaid

Tricia Herbert

We will explore the role of formal and informal leaders in growing and nurturing a culture of inquiry throughout the school community.

Inquiry in Early years

Katherine M Patton

The early years ~ it is where inquiry is at the heart of the educational experience. Children are natural inquirers and creating a classroom that promotes ‘wondering’ allows for children to continue to explore the world around them with their curious minds. In this session, we will use some guiding questions to explore inquiry in the early years. What does inquiry in the early years look like? Why is it important? and How can it be encouraged?

The Big Picture – Inquiry Through Art

Lise Farquhar

“But I can’t draw.”

As an Art teacher I hear this all the time, say it all the time
and think about it all the time, which fuels my fire. Art is not about drawing. It is the ultimate opportunity for students to inquire deeply into their learning from across the curriculum and life. Find out and share ways to shift the focus from techniques and terminology to context and concepts.
