working on inquiries

final presentations

20. Develop Critical Thinking
● Ask your child open ended questions about
their project

● Let them be responsible for their own learning
● Encourage independent inquiry and respect
student ownership of the process
● Monitor, challenge, question, clarify

21. Rubrics
● The rubrics assess the PYP Transdisciplinary
skills, processes and attitudes
● Though the end product is assessed, the
emphasis is on the process

22. Something for us all to remember...
● The process is more important than the
product
● The Exhibition is a celebration of who your
child is as a learner.
