The IB PYP Wing at DRS International School hosted a Coffee Morning on the 11th of August, 2018 to involve the parent community in their child’s inquiry process and its assessment. Parents visited their children’s classrooms and enjoyed the opportunity to see learning in action!
Across grade levels, students took centre-stage to share their reflections on their most recent Unit of Inquiry. They shared their insights from throughout the inquiry process and showcased their personal and collective findings with enthusiasm. The units of inquiry were from a broad selection of the transdisciplinary themes, and included units such as ‘Community Helpers’, ‘Tribes’, ‘Types of Houses’, ‘Human Rights’, ‘The Human Body’ and many more. Students represented their learning through a variety of modes including poems, role-plays, poster displays, performances and even a unique puppet show!
The event certainly helped bolster the parent community’s understanding of the IB Philosophy and its alignment with the school vision and mission. Parents were keenly involved in making connections between the curriculum design and their child’s learning, which they assessed using holistic rubrics that covered a range of criteria. Our students took feedback from their parents with open-mindedness, and loved the interactive assessing process.
