I enjoyed this session, I am an auditory learner so got a lot out of being given some information and a task to do - much needed PD on the planner. It was also very handy to have the specific parts of the 'MtPYPH' booklet pointed out to me as it is a large document that is daunting to navigate without purpose. I would prefer to have a 'sense of ownership' over a place in the room rather than moving around to meet new people and change tables.
ReplyDeleteI found it useful to talk through the planner from scratch as I had never seen a blank unit planner until today. Being shown the bubble planner example in the PYP book was helpful also. I liked Wiggins & Tighe's 'backwards by design' model.

ReplyDeleteThe bubble planner - Was great as a guide to completing the plan, instructions are clear and will allow me to contribute more on our next planning day.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of backward design approach to planning. It is good to what I have already done in practise supported by academic theory. For How We Express Ourselves unit, I planned the unit from the end product; an assembly performance about how students can express who they are. From there, I gave opportunity for students to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to reach their summative assessment.
