COPYRIGHT: It seems we are free to use YouTube and TED Talks, Ashish is going to reconfirm.

When showing images scanned from a book, it is acceptable if you have a copy of the book with you.

Not allowed to have participants fill in feedback forms as they will then be less likely to fill in the official IBEN online form. We may collect simp feedback, say, on Post-its.

There will be more information about trainers collected and collated on the database in the future.

Ashish explained the complicated system used for selecting WSL and who goes where when based on a variety of criteria including:
  • area(s) of expertise
  • regional concerns
  • experience
  • costs
  • volume of work undertaken recently
  • more than reasonable to make a comprehensive list here

Getting participants up to speed: Living the 5 essential elements

  1. Gain the KNOWLEDGE
  2. UNDERSTAND how they work together in the learning & planning
  3. APPLY this to your next unit.

Developing a transdisciplinary program me of inquiry: CRITERIA found here.
Example: You need at least three Lines of Inquiry/PYP Unit

Quality Criteria Central Ideas
Central Ideas are written in a neutral voice that does not convey a specific or particular value of an individual. NOT VALUE LADEN!
This is complicated and people spend years exploring and extending their understanding of this.

Words to avoid:
  • Must
  • will do
  • essential
  • need to
  • should
  • enrich
  • we 
  • all have

So what? Questions to ask about Central Ideas
  • How do?
  • How are?
  • Why?

Central Ideas are globally significant (true) addressing the commonalities of human experience (Not limited to one perspective.)

We will be walking into culturally diverse environments as workshop leaders. What do we need to consider for effective training considering this fact.
Placemat activity, ranking top 4 concerns

Brainstorm on Important Considerations both Regionally & by Country

1. Language

  • Do not speak to fast
  • Encourage breakout and individual sessions
  • BE AVAILABLE

2. Cultural concerns

  • Some cultures do not encourage speaking up
  • Monitor to make sure all participants have a chance to speak in groups, NO HIJACKERS
  • Differentiate for varied means of expression and sharing other than talk to the class

3. Learning Styles / Differentiation

As in the regular classroom, must be addressed through variety

4. Pedagogy

Passing judgement on different pedagogies is not appropriate and may even be offensive.
