Loved seeing different methods of learning vocabulary, drawing on their mother tongue languages, and reviewing for the test in grade 7 @myp Individuals&Societies class @MKISOfficial .

Our last Student Council meeting of the year and we are here to recognize each other, share a few kind words, and wrap up the year! #leadership #studentvoice #studentcouncil #middleschool

We also asked the Green Club, mostly comprised of grade 9 students, to create this beautiful paper from recycled paper and print the poem on it as a gift.

Organising MYP completion ceremony and trying to engage students as much as possible. G10 students as MCs and speakers, and creators of content. But the best part has been something else.

[Tamara Afanasyeva @afanasit]

Examples: a student’s project was to write a book of poems. One of them was used as a little gift for each student.

Next: set up study groups, identify leaders and volunteers, agree on the concepts needing a review, use advisory time for 15-20 min focused and deep work. Reinforce that teaching is the highest form of learning.

[Tamara Afanasyeva @afanasit]

Exams are two weeks away. Ss have never been a part of a study group. What can we do to help them maximize their time and learning and acquire a new study skill?
We use advisory lessons to teach students how to study well. Thread

Session #3 Survey students’ perceptions and check their exam preparedness comfort levels in different subjects.

[Tamara Afanasyeva @afanasit]

Session#5 Set up a fishbowl where a student volunteer teaches a concept that will appear on the final exam. Coach the student in advance how to lead the study group session.

If your school is lucky enough to have a full-time certified librarian, they're probably not being utilized to their full capacity. This week four librarians — @Boss_Librarian, @MobleyintheMix, @cuethelibrarian, and @barupatx — explore this topic with me. https://t.co/J9UDLWCI3h

The introduction of ChatGPT 3.5 was followed by a 21% decline in job postings in automation-prone writing/coding jobs and image-generating AI was followed by a 17% reduction in image creation postings: https://t.co/Y1VsDUYgWU

The advantage of being a full continuum school, an easy and seamless alignment and opportunities for collaboration across grade levels. In this case, #myp personal project students are mentors for #pyp exhibition students @ibmyp @ibpyp @MKISOfficial

Using Equity Maps to track discussions during Socratic seminars in grade 6 English Language and Literature class. #mypchat #equitymaps #socraticseminars

@MrAlexEdTech Would love to get involved. Thanks!

Observe-Ask Questions-Investigate-Present. Today we were at the Present stage of our first inquiry into object-based learning. We learned about Korea by looking at their coins, China and their seals, India and their bracelets, USA and their baseball team shirts, and so much more!

G6 students are starting to learn about historical inquiry in their Individuals&Societies class. They brought objects from home for us to observe, ask questions about, investigate, research, and share out the findings. @MKISOfficial #inquiry #objectbasedlearning #ATLskills
