In these videos they examine Universal Design for Learning and Differentiaton and provide practical strategies and examples of how they can be embedded into the learning.

We recommend that these videos are watched by teams and time is taken to pause and reflect as the video is in progress. With this video there is a padlet link. Here we ask you to record your ideas, thoughts and responses and take time to read what others have posted. During this time we suggest teams reflect on the learning and make connections to their own educational setting.

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.

1.1 - What is inquiry? What is Workshop?

1.2 - How does Workshop support an agentic ecology?

1.3 - What matters most for feedback to feed forward within a PYP and Workshop classroom?

Chapter 1: Defining our Terms and Making Connections

2.1 - What might it look like to amplify PYP core values inside a whole group minilesson?

2.2 - What are some myths and reframes to think about when considering minilessons?

2.3 - How can I plan a minilesson that provides access for all with both brevity and clarity?

2.4 - How might I leverage share time to amplify inquiry and honor agency?

Chapter 2: Living our PYP Core Values as a Community of Learners through Workshop

Cultures of innovation begin with a culture of empathy. How do you create these cultures? How do you sustain them? How do you help people to develop the mindset and skill set to thrive within them?

In this course we'll examine how design thinking practices can be used to answer these very questions. 

As a team you'll identify a goal to work on and use the template provided to guide your through the process from A-Z using a template that is provided to you.

The timing depends on the team and can be completed in as soon as 5 days. 

On completion of the course, you'll gain the clarity and confidence to advocate for why design thinking, facilitate a design thinking experience, and to use the strategies to address future challenges and opportunities. 

In this module we'll examine why and how design thinking strategies allow us to tackle complex challenges. We'll review research from a 2-year study with educators at Design39 Campus in San Diego, CA who asked, "How might we change the way we do school." You'll learn the promising praactices that emerged from this study about how design thinking can be used to challenge the traditional structures that prevent true change from scaling. 

In this module, you'll examine and practice strategies that build team psychological safety and trust. This is an essential pre-requisite for successful collaboration. As a team you'll share your goals and identify one to work on in this design challenge. 

Session 3: Identifying and Defining Your Challenge

In this module you'll refine your goal and lead empathy interviews to gain deeper insights. You'll share these back with your team and confirm that you have identified the right goal to be working on.

In this module you'll use what you learned from your empathy interviews to design a solution and create a 1-week, 1-month, and 1-year action plan to implement.

In this module, you'll test your solution with a small group to refine any areas that were not identified earlier. You'll take this feedback, update your action plan, and you are ready to implement!
