Thank you @Gavin_Smith1986 for sharing with the teachers from @OportunidadFGK so many useful resources to engage and encourage ss to use language to show their learning process during #onlinelearning

[Gavin Smith @Gavin_Smith1986]

@Shei_Asc @ReneRenBradford This is great, there’s a lot of overlap with concept-based inquiry. @JulieHStern I’d love to hear more about this as real world transfer also aligns with authentic assessment, creating a way in which our students can see learning as a vehicle for change!

@Shei_Asc @cbkaye Bring it on, here’s to our students making a difference in the world #covidcantstopus

[Gavin Smith @Gavin_Smith1986]

LIS’ first EE Cafe. Year 10s, 11s, 13s, parents and teachers inquiring about the Year 12 EEs. #LISlearning #ExtendedEssay #IBDP

[Shei Ascencio (she/ella) @Shei_Asc]

Pure respect + gratitude @armon_alex who inspired, empowered, shared his knowledge + experience on efficient advocacy w/ #IB_DP class. You’re an outstanding role model to our youth! How do u set the ground for DP Core?

Interconnecting the IBDP Core to raise engagement in the Extended Essay. Great work from the core team at Luanda International School Angola. @Shei_Asc @ReneRenBradford @toddricher16 @LisLearning @IB_DP @lisluanda https://t.co/ZRR7GOXKqW

@sleongellerker @Little_Mamu Totally agree, we should encourage reading and writing for pleasure. By forcing it and putting conditions on it, we could end up with students disenchanted with reading and writing.

[Gavin Smith @Gavin_Smith1986]

COVID can't stop the Extended Essay. Year 12 LISA students take their EE Cafe digital using Flipgrid. A great opportunity for students to present their EE ideas through continuous learning. #lislearns #IBDP #EE

[Gavin Smith @Gavin_Smith1986]

A4: We need to create a safe learning environment. By making sure students feel they can give us feedback on our teaching. A student should be able to say “this doesn’t work for me, please can we do this another way?” @sleongellerker @davidpakosh #pubpdafrica

[Gavin Smith @Gavin_Smith1986]

@ELCwithBrooks What’s twice-exceptionality?

[Gavin Smith @Gavin_Smith1986]

A3: Advocacy is very important for neurodiversity. If students are in an inquiry classroom and are empowered to inquire, they will cater to their own neurodiversity independently whilst learning. #pubpdafrica

@Shei_Asc @mu_serves @servicenschools @suramaking @SLatDuke @IB_DP Nice work @Shei_Asc. This gives some real food for thought in our context. Continued meaningful communication and research is key to effective service in our surrounding communities.

[Gavin Smith @Gavin_Smith1986]

@Shei_Asc @ReneRenBradford @DavChi11 @Fiona12Moss @cbkaye @EduroLearning Using CAS to find connections and their EEs to develop their knowledge. #UnitedCore

[Gavin Smith @Gavin_Smith1986]

@Shei_Asc @sherrattsam @davidpakosh Great work on creating fasntastic learning engagements!

[Gavin Smith @Gavin_Smith1986]

@sherrattsam @DavChi11 @GuyClaxton We can use a number of teaching methodologies to teach skills. An example would be to create a learning engagement with bogus information and allow the students to realise this. We then create the opportunity to learn from their errors by teaching OCPVL etc. #pubPDAfrica
