By exploring the PYP framework, you will ascertain how voice, choice and ownership are recognised and developed by members of the IB community. You will be supported in your understanding of learning and teaching in a transdisciplinary, concept-driven curriculum and how to design this in your own school context. This workshop invites you to inquire into your own teaching practices and reflect on how you can develop the capabilities of a PYP teacher.
