A full year of learning with PYP 1!

Reflecting on a year of teaching PYP 1 has been an enriching experience. Despite the heavier administrative workload, the joy of teaching and witnessing the growth of 6-7-year-old children has been immensely fulfilling. Collaborating with my partner has added another layer of enjoyment to the process. Throughout the year, we explored various units, each with its central idea and highlights.  In the "Who We Are" unit, we delved into the concept of respecting others' identities, fostering an understanding of diversity through tasks that encouraged different perspectives. In Visual Art session, students were given a task to indentify their family's characteristics through drawing a family portrait.  During the "Discovering cultural and local identities fosters a sense of belonging" unit, our city tour of Surabaya and visit to Desa Bongso to see Pura Kerta Bumi provided hands-on experiences that deepened our students' understanding of their own cultures and ...

My Reflection of "Making the PYP Happen Cat. 1" - IBAP Workshop

I was privileged to participate in the IB Asia Pacific workshop on "Making the PYP Happen: Implementing Student Agency" at BINUS School Simprug.  This workshop was an incredible journey into the heart of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP), and it was hosted right here in the dynamic city of Jakarta, Indonesia. Here are some highlights from the workshop : 1. Student Agency: The workshop's core focus was implementing student agency. This means empowering students to take ownership of their learning journey, make choices, and become more responsible for their education. 2. Global Perspectives: I had the opportunity to connect with educators and school leaders from all over the Asia Pacific region. It was amazing to see how the PYP is embraced and adapted in diverse cultural contexts.                                          ...

New Role, New Challenge, New Me!

    Hello, it has been a while since I wrote on this blog. This is because in the academic year 2022/2023. I have taken on a new role as a primary school teacher at Ciputra School. I am grateful for the opportunity that God has given me to be one of the teachers here.       It is an incredible and enjoyable challenge, as the students have more mature character and emotional development. The lessons and teaching methods are also different from the seven years I spent teaching at a playgroup.      There are many things that I have learned during my almost one year as a PYP (Primary Years Programme) teacher here. I have learned about key concepts, transdisciplinary themes, units of inquiry, and of course, many other terms that I still need to learn.     The PYP is an educational framework that aims to develop student's knowledge, skills, and attitudes to become active, caring, lifelong learners. It emphasizes the importa...
