"If schools can find a way of [focusing on health & welfare], of showing how well they do that, it would be transformative."
Where a school can only define itself through #Exams results, beware of the unintended consequences. #Parents, there aren't the metrics you are looking for!

#EECoordinators of Twitter! Any thoughts on using Maths w/ a #WSEE? How do you ensure students ⚖️ Maths w/their other subject? #EE #extendedessay #worldstudies

This is a great reference not only for #ExtendedEssays but for any academic writing.
When referencing in essays, avoid just quoting the contents of articles at length. If you’re using long sections of texts, it’s almost always a sign that you haven’t got to the heart of these ideas.

To further support our #WSEE supervisors, I've set up 6 dif Google spaces (org by area of study) to ask Q's & bounce around ideas. How do you support your supervisors? Any suggestions?

100+ students opted for a #WorldStudies #EE this year. We offer additional support for new WS supervisors.
What do you do to ensure everyone feels confident on their WS journey? #extendingeast

My #EE Passion Form goes out to #G11 students this Tues. They'll have until 11/01 to submit their top 3 EE choices (incl. at least 1 World Studies option).
How do your students submit their EE ideas? #extendingeast

We are introducing the #EE & #WorldStudies to our G11's this week! Next week, we'll have a Q&A w/mentors + a research/citation session w/our librarian @flipoz.
How do you introduce the EE to your students?

Hi everyone! Just a quick note that my regular Twitter account has been hacked, so if you see any strange tweets, they are not me! Ugh! So frustrating!! Reports have been filed ...

It's #EE Writing Day! Our G11's are off timetable to focus on their EE. They will be reading, researching, workshopping, conferencing, experimenting, collaborating, & of course, writing. Our labs & classrooms will be #buzzing with activity! 🐝🐝
@UWCSEA @Elfdaws @UzayAshton
#busybEEs Supervisor Tip: Allow students to make changes to their #EE (i.e. something completely dif to what they started with). Usually through the course of research, they discover what they *really* want to focus on. Let them. 1/2

#busybEEs Example: One of my students told me she's realised her #WorldStudies idea will work much better w/ #Psychology & #English rather than Psych + #Economics. She justified her reasons & made the changes. Happy student!🐝🐝 2/2

#busybEEs Student Tip: You can add citations / bibliography within Google Docs. So easy to use & it supports the latest editions of MLA, APA, & Chicago. Learn more here: bit.ly/3dvk0aZ 🐝🐝

This week I hosted some (socially distanced) workshops for ~140 students starting a #WorldStudies #EE. That's just over 1/2 of the 2022 cohort! It's great to see so many students excited about this opportunity! #interdisciplinary @UzayAshton @Elfdaws @iborganization @UWCSEA_East

#busybEEs Supervisor Tip: How are your students progressing? Are they engaged with their #EE? Asking relevant Q's? Conducting independent research? Show them a little 💛: send an email to parents, praising the work they've done thus far. 🐝🐝 #buzzbuzz @Elfdaws @UzayAshton
#busybEEs Supervisor Tip: We don't always have to meet face to face w/students. Sometimes a quick email to check in will suffice. Don't count the hours you spend w/them; instead, focus on the quality of your shared time. 🐝🐝 #EE #extendingeast #buzzbuzz

Class of 2021 #EE's are all "In like Flynn." It's been such a challenging year for this group, yet they have persevered with resilience & grace. Special thanks to our DPC @Elfdaws for her continued guidance throughout this process; couldn't have done it without you! @UWCSEA_East

One of my students wants to use @JP_GHIBLI films as a resource for her #EE & I've never been more excited! There was much lively discussion in our meeting this morning ...

Sat in on an #EE mtg; student told her supervisor that her goal this year is to read only books by brown/black authors. We both cheered! #representationmatters not just for the EE but in all units of all classes. #buzzbuzz
@UzayAshton @Elfdaws
#busybEEs Supervisor Tip: Have your students audio record each #EE mtg so they can easily access all the great ideas you discuss. This can also be a good reference point for them as they write their reflections. 🐝 🐝#extendingeast #buzzbuzz
