Stronger Together: Workshop and the PYP

Workshop can’t possibly align with your values as a PYP educator. And vice versa…Right?…

After all, one is all about inquiry, agency, and responsive teaching, and the other is all about prescribed processes and scripted terminology. Hmmm…which one is which? It could depend on who you are talking to, right?

Jump in with me to unravel the myths and harness the power of BOTH Workshop and the PYP.

You can take this course:

  • individually as is

  • as a team of colleagues (for every four participants, get a fifth registration FREE—reach out to register via invoice)

  • as an entire school (reach out for a discounted school rate via invoice)

  • and/or add live coaching hours with me as a supplement to the asynchronous sessions.

@Mrs_Gilchrist‘s sessions are magical! I lost track of time...There are many great resources and recommendations I’m taking away in terms of how one can support the literacy development of all learners.
