I have only been in my new school for less than 4 months and I am about to have my 4th workshops!
They have different names of workshop, the first one was called Induction Workshop, the second one was called IB’s Dunia Conference with Lynn Erickson as the main speaker.
Dr. Lynn Erickson is a private consultant assisting schools and districts around the world with curriculum design and instruction. During the past seventeen years she has worked extensively with K-12 teachers and administrators nationally and internationally on the design of concept-based classroom and district level curricula and concept-based instruction. continue reading.
The third one is an In-House training.
All three of them is for International Baccalaureate curriculum. My school uses two curriculum, PYP and MYP (IB Curriculum) for grade 1 to 10 and Cambridge International Examination for grade 10 – 12 (we only have grade 10 for now). I have been to three IB Workshop…it’s time to go to Cambridge workshop. The workshop is only 1 day.

I’ll be leaving tomorrow afternoon…and be back here in blogging world (hopefully) on Saturday night ๐
Ps. I hope my brain doesn’t explode as I keep stuffing more knowledge before I have the time to process the previous one.

Hahaha!! I know that “exploding brain” feeling well too! ๐
Have a good trip to Singapore and come back safe and sound… and hopefully with your lil’ brain still intact. ๐
Fortunately…my brain is still intact but it’s very full now ๐
Thank you Miyuki, I had great time and will write about it tonight.
I thought the IB program was only for middle and high school levels. I hadn’t realized it was available for lower than 6th grade.
It’s very different, the PYP and MYP…although both are IB but the systems are different. However they are planning to make it similar somewhere next year
We really are turning into one world.
Have a great trip, Novia! And have fun.
And try not to let your brain explode. You’ll probably need it later to deal with all your rambunctious students.
Thank you Peter ๐
Thank God my brain still in one piece ๐ I got a very valuable lesson. I understand more about Cambridge now.
That’s good news! Too bad you didn’t have a little time to be a tourist, though.
Maybe next time I can visit again ๐
I have a passport now…so all I have to do now is saving up my money ๐
Hey have fun too, it’s not all work you know? ๐ ๐

Unfortunately…it was ALL work! But I like it, the speaker helps me a lot.
Enjoy your workshop Nov! I’ve been busy w/ TCFF last week and this week, so whenever you get a chance, hope you’ll stop by ๐
The workshop was only one day ๐
I have already at home since Saturday but too busy to write a post ;p
I will be visiting soon because I am going to link your post to mine ๐
I’m late, guess it’s already over by now. I hope you had a great time.
I had great time learning…but much as a tourist. Maybe one day I can go there again ๐
Wow that’s a great news, Novia (I’m kind of late saying this). That explains the picture you posted in instagram. Hope you have a lovely time learning!
Thank you Andina ๐
I had great time learning…too bad not enough time to have fun ๐
