I’m happy to have completed the Instructional Leadership courses to earn the certificate in Instructional Leadership from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. It’s been a valuable learning experience for me, developing my skills to become an effective educator leading teams.
Throughout the ceremony, students heard encouraging speeches from the Elementary Vice Principal, Mrs. Woodburn, and the Elementary Principal, Mr. Mclnnis.
They received short life lessons from each of the G5 teachers ( Mr. Bartlett, Mr. Ellewee, Mr. Watterson, and Mr. Noi)👏👏
Many challenging weeks, but the G5 students showed resilience, courage and commitment to pursue their passions and demonstrate creativity towards their goals and the incredible actions they created. Now it is time to reflect on the process and celebrate our achievements 🎉
I’m loving the positive energy of students singing their PYPX song “agents of change” after a fantastic first day of showcasing their exhibits! Students are buzzing and feeling the PYPx spirit 😀☺️😊🌎🎼 #MyPYPx
Brilliant first day! So much hard work done by the students and the grade 5 team. Super proud of the students! They did amazing showcasing their work to other schools. I’m excited for another day of them being able to share their learning and passion. . #PYPx#MyCISB
Exhibition is almost upon us. Everyone is working extremely hard to set up spaces. I am super proud of the students resilience and commitment. I am also very proud of the G5 team for their dedication to encouraging and supporting the kids to get them ready for PYPX. #MyCISB
It is crunch week for our G5 students. Students are doing all they can to be successful for their PYPX presentations next week. They are using their social and communication skills to support each other to succeed. #PYPX
@scottj_onwheels Thank you so much for your support, dedication and commitment throughout the PYPx process for inspiring our students to become global citizens to take meaningful actions. It has been a pleasure connecting and collaborating with you!
@MsAshleyHeath@KittyYala Thank you! Next time, we should connect our G5 classes to share our PYPx learning experiences and exchange ideas for actions to take. If your G5 teachers are interested we could start an email pen pal connection. :)
Today is the official launch of the Grade 5 Exhibition. Students used their social and communication skills during their PYPx collaboration and team building activities. #MyCISB#PYPx
Thank you, CISB, for recognizing my efforts as a teacher. I am proud to represent CISB at the JING Educators Awards. My goal as an educator is to create safe and comfortable learning environments where students can take risks while learning skills to become passionate leaders.

Today Grade 5 students had fun in the kitchen using their #thinkingskills to follow the procedural steps to bake chocolate chip banana cupcakes. During baking, they used social skills to support their team members to follow instructions to bake delicious cupcakes.#IBschool#CISB
Students demonstrated empathy by understanding the theme of migration through art. Students researched and used their creativity skills to create a visual representation of what migration looks like for refugees. Students presented on what their painting depicts. #MyCISB
Today students were making connections and building friendships with a class in Winnipeg, Canada. Students replied to letters that was written to them individually. Students were open minded and excited to write letters and get to know their penpals. #MyCISB#friendshipgoals
Today in class we discussed the importance of being caring and taking care of our mind and how we can stay mentally healthy. Students designed a positive affirmation t-shirt to promote positive thinking and advertise World Mental Health Day. #WorldMentalHealthDay#MyCISB
