Learning about Learning!


Here at DRS, we believe that professional development for our facilitators has the power to drive all learning in school. Ms Annabelle Villamarin and Ms Preeti, both IB Workshop Leaders from the Asia-Pacific region, conducted workshops on the 8th and 9th of September 2017, for our IB PYP Facilitators on ‘Concept-Based Learning’ and ‘Making the PYP Happen’ respectively.

These workshops were an excellent opportunity for our facilitators, to revisit their knowledge of the written, taught and assessed curricula in PYP. Both homeroom facilitators and specialist teachers made the most of the workshop.

The workshop by Ms Villamarin, centered around untapping the power of concepts to drive inquiries and conceptual understanding through a variety of exercises and learning engagements to stimulate the facilitators. The workshop by Ms Preeti, on the other hand, focussed on revisiting the foundational elements and nuances of the curriculum in a hands-on manner.
