IBEN Lead Educator, Dubai

Workshop Information:

Inquiry is central to the IB PYP, transforming how students learn by nurturing curiosity, critical thinking, and agency. In this engaging session, we will explore how to cultivate inquiry-rich environments.

Through interactive discussions and practical activities, participants will unpack the principles of inquiry, learn strategies to design authentic, student-driven learning experiences, and explore connections between inquiry, conceptual understanding, and student agency. 

Collaborative reflections will provide opportunities to share ideas and gain fresh perspectives on how to inspire and empower learners.

This session invites you to rethink teaching practices, embrace curiosity as a mindset, and uncover the transformative potential of inquiry. 

Whether you’re new to the PYP or experienced, this workshop will equip you with strategies to deepen engagement and spark lifelong learning in your classroom using everyday objects. 

Please bring your laptop, a seashell, your favorite poem and a PYP unit you want to develop or revise

Session Outcomes:
