@NishaVahi @kirtidakale @TristanPYP @Shailjajdatt @dhatravada @HughesT0KY0 @ZitaJoyce2 @rachelbrahmdev @p A3. Reporting includes so much more than traditional “reports.” Conferences, reflections, portfolios, assemblies, exhibitions, newsletters… As long as the reporting is meaningful, intentional, celebratory, and feeds forward to further improvement. #pypchat

[Katie Stone @MsKatieTweets]

@kirtidakale @VidhyaG12 @rachelbrahmdev @pinder03 @NishaVahi @siva_ragini A2. The purpose of reporting on learning is to reflect on learning, feeding back to the community. Admin / teachers might be reflecting on individual and school wide goals while families reflect on their child’s.But reports should celebrate & feed forward to further T&L. #pypchat

@kirtidakale @Shailjajdatt @TristanPYP @NishaVahi @dhatravada @VidhyaG12 @DonnaMathew22 @siva_ragini Hi hi! Katie here, the Primary Principal @bisbandung. I’ll be in and out, juggling parenthood with #PYPChat 😂

This is officially my favorite piece of elementary art ever. Students our hard-working support staff and then drew portraits of them. So beautiful to recognize those that keep us operating all the time! @WAB_LIVE

[Katie Stone @MsKatieTweets]

@kirtidakale @levi_allison42 @Shaza33 Ooooh this is a great question! I think by starting the process with central idea that’s open-ended, timeless, local and globally significant… and tasking them with exploring their project in multiple ways. But you have to start this way. Otherwise it feels forced. #pypchat

@kirtidakale @Shaza33 @levi_allison42 Selamat malam! Thanks for facilitating.

[Katie Stone @MsKatieTweets]

@kirtidakale @Shaza33 @levi_allison42 A5. Building diverse ways of evidencing learning leading up to the PYPx. Show them how to share learning and document the process and build a menu of ways to evidence learning before it’s PYPx time. Then they’ll feel prepared and can choose how to evidence their process. #pypchat

[Katie Stone @MsKatieTweets]

@kirtidakale @Shaza33 @levi_allison42 We have info sessions, asynchronous “training modules,” etc. of course. But asking for involvement based on your interest - and matching you to a student who could learn from your expertise- is what we look for at the end of the day. #pypchat

[Katie Stone @MsKatieTweets]

@kirtidakale @Shaza33 @levi_allison42 A4. We ask staff and parents to volunteer as Community Experts or Mentors if they’re interested in being part of the process. It’s tough with such a small school sometimes, but sharing in the process means photographing, helping with research, whatever works for YOU. #pypchat

[Katie Stone @MsKatieTweets]

@kirtidakale @Shaza33 @levi_allison42 @ibpyp Because it’s a personal process of learning, success looks different for each student. But that’s what we want anyway. #pypchat

[Katie Stone @MsKatieTweets]

@kirtidakale @Shaza33 @levi_allison42 A3. We have it run from 8-10 weeks under How We Express Ourselves. From Jan - Mar. It’s the broadest TDT, and helps prevent a 7th unit outside of the POI. #pypchat

[Katie Stone @MsKatieTweets]

@kirtidakale @Shaza33 @levi_allison42 @ibpyp It can be difficult for students new to inquiry to engage fully. We had a student join for Exhibit this year as his first PYP unit, and he had limited English skills. But he researched in Korean, and was still able to share his passion for coding with the community. #pypchat

[Katie Stone @MsKatieTweets]

@kirtidakale @Shaza33 @levi_allison42 @ibpyp @toddle_edu That @MsCindyPYP is a true gem of a designer! I’m borderline obsessed with everything she makes. #pypchat

[Katie Stone @MsKatieTweets]

@kirtidakale A1. PYPx tends to feel exciting, exhausting, confusing, and challenging. Highs and lows throughout the process. But it’s authentic, focused on passions and opportunities to learn, and incredible learning experiences. #pypchat

[Katie Stone @MsKatieTweets]

@kirtidakale Hi everyone! I’m Katie, Primary School Principal @bisbandung in Bandung, Indonesia. Excited to learn with and from you all tonight! #pypchat
