Perspectives of the PYP Coordinator

3 March - Teacher Professional Development

Teacher Learning is just as important as student learning. We were so very lucky because we have spent the two days of learning with two leading experts. In the fields of play in the early years, Fiona Zinn, offers perspectives on looking at environment and our practice. While Tania Lattanzio, in field of differentiation and the PYP offers, junior years teachers new ways to help student access the curriculum. In both these areas, teachers are challenging their thinking, moving beyond their current thinkings and taking onboard new ways to teach.  

Such a great way to learn among colleagues you work with every day.
