How might we encourage students to always have ‘something to read’? What could this look like in day to day classroom life? I’m making connections to the work of @donalynbooks & how it changed my outlook on the teaching of reading. instagram.com/reel/C69YKCzgi…

Our #PYPX intro to parents was facilitated by students who led large groups through tasks they had been involved in. Their depth of understanding, knowledge, explanations & sharing of perspectives - highly commendable! #teamwork @kpackteacher @sara_philippen 👏🏻
A more productive alternative to Netflix for all the #inquirybased #ibpyp crew 😜 and it’s free! 👍🏼😁 instagram.com/p/C39KR4ZR-ow/…

Excited to announce this unique classroom and workshop learning experience with myself, Kath Murdoch @kjinquiry and Megan Holmstrom. Information available at inquiryinaction.com. Registration now open. (limited to 63 participants).
Spotted this as as I was leaving today. What a way to end the week 💕💕 One group are ready to go first play break on Monday #pypaction #ibpyp @paulabaxter67 @sara_philippen @heymskeith
A learning journey coming to fruition. Look at these young #changemakers putting their learning into #action 😍 Meeting online with real-life activist was the turning point to put the wheels of action for change in motion #ibpyp #inquirycycle ✊🏽✊🏼✊🏾
Slow Math Inquiry… taking multiple steps to establish understanding of 3 dimensions & volume. Some #3actmath inspo followed by modelling with materials. Next, how might we use this knowledge to establish a rule for calculating volume? #slowmath #mathinquiry #ibpyp #slowreveal
QOTD discussing #pypexhibition ‘Are YOU doing an exhibition inquiry, Ms K?’ Which got me thinking…what if? What if I actively did everything I ask of learners alongside them? What would I inquire into? What message would it send to them? What’s possible? #ibpyp #inquiryedu
It’s that time of year again… #pypexhibition workshop 1. What do learners know about the #ibpyp ? What do we think #pypx is? Let the journey begin! #ipshilversum @sara_philippen @heymskeith Thanks @chrisgadbury for the #pyp graphic!
When your classroom used to be an EY space and G6 find antiquities buried in the hardest to reach corners 😂 #playbasedlearning #ipshilversum #ibpyp @BethlehemClaire @paulabaxter67
Inquiring into the ‘anatomy of a change maker’. First step: case studies to infer and profile young change makers, their motivation, action and impact #ibpyp #changemakers #conceptbasedinquiry #sharingtheplanet
How it started vs how it finished. What better way to start the new year than with an #inquiry into how to redesign our #learningspace to better suit our needs as a class #ibpyp #learneragency
Had a bunch of resources for fractions,decimals,percentages but no brain power. Solution? Student designed learning engagements and games. Result: a week of math groups sorted. Their creativity and engagement was next level 💕 #learneragency #learnercentered #mathinquiry
They knew about zombie ants & time-lapse mold videos, but the up-close scientific observations of fungi was the real wow moment. Many questions, misconceptions, connections & wonderings. A rich & joyful provocation #htww #pyp #slowlooking #fungi

@STIPHilversum Groups 7&8 were inspired by Chloé Wittebrood's personal action in her hometown, with Bangkok Community Help Foundation. Chloé is one young student who will help bring about change in the world, bet she's already made a huge difference to NIST! @NISTSchool #NISTis

How about starting each day with a "data talk" - they help students develop the data literacy that will protect them in the modern world. youcubed.org/resource/data-t… For soccer lovers, this is one of my favorites!
Hey @toddle whoever edited this nailed the art of combining media to heighten emotional response! I’m not crying, you’re crying. Maybe it’s #PYPX23 , maybe it’s the looming farewells to our graduating class, maybe it’s exhaustion. But THIS was a little bit of magic in my day❣️
