In primary schools in ESF – all becoming PYP schools. Decision was taken for exactly same reasons this group was put together (21st Century needs/authentic)PYP made up of 5 essential elementsThese combine hopefully to form lifelong learners
Still something missingOpportunities not taken for various reasons e.g. age restriction/cyber safetyLooking at creating a safe environment to allow primary to exploreConnect with secondary
Well established that there is a gap in learning and styles of learning between primary and secondaryAlso, between diploma and PYPAwareness in secondary that students coming to us learn differentlyWant to investigate and close gap
find a mechanism to meet the demands of the 21st Century and a future that is undetermined for our learners.
It’s a pedagogy that is designed to fulfill 21st Century needsThese are some of the things we think inquiry will help us to achieveHere are some of themCross reference explanation of PYP – essential elements etc.
