Dear Classmates,
I am still undecided about what to do for my final project. I am more than happy to help the “Inquiry Based Learning” group though. I could also look into some of the upcoming changes in the IBO MYP as my “aside” if need be…
Confused as ever
JL 🙁
Let’s touch base today and discuss.
Hi Jen, Great talk today! Here are the ideas we discussed. You may use these ideas to guide your work, or you may have new ideas coming up as a result of our discussion and these notes. To be clear, I need a daily blog post to fulfill the assignment criteria – I’m sure you are going to do fine with this.
Inquiry Topic Blog Post 1: Ethos and System – embodied in educators, leading to entrenched oppositional positions – how to turn conflicted relationships into collaborative relationships – how are other educators addressing these ideas and problems
Inquiry Topic Blog Post 2: Assessment Conditions – what are the levels that students are expected to achieve as benchmarks for passing to the next level? How do IB educators reconcile traditional standards based educational systems and inquiry-based authentic learning ethos of IB program?
Inquiry Topic Blog Post 3: Developing a rationale for a lesson that incorporates ethos and system – what kinds of things need to be included to satisfy different philosophical, curricular, and pedagogical interests?
