Transdisciplinary Learning is our teaching approach at Chatsworth in the Primary School. The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme endorses a belief that students learn best when the learning is authentic and transdisciplinary— relevant to the real world—where the learning is not confined within the boundaries of traditional subject areas but is supported and enriched by them (Making the PYP happen: A curriculum framework for international primary education 2009).
Today, Michael Lucchesi, Inquiry Coordinator and Year Six teacher, held an inspiring Parent Cafe about transdisciplinary learning. Parents explored the meaning of transdisciplinary learning and then visited classrooms to see this approach in action. After visiting the classrooms, parents returned to debrief with Mr. Lucchesi about their experiences. See our photos of learning below. Our first box is filled with words from the parent reflections after visiting the classrooms. Thanks you to Ms. Williams, Ms. Tamara, Mr. Snell, Ms. Smyth, Ms. Crosbie and Ms. Dawson for sharing their classrooms.
