We are living in a world of constant change...how do we best support our children to prepare for a world that is unknown to us?
I have reflected on my transition from a New Zealand Curriculum to the IB Curriculum here and in other places on my blog. I have had 4 of my own children participate in both curriculums. The IB Learner Profile, PYP Attitudes, Approaches to Learning, ACTION, Inquiry, learning about learning… the more and more I come to understand the IB, the more and more I believe it's making a difference.
What are your thoughts on this blog? Is the IB equipping children for their world?

We live in a postmodern world. Our job as educators is to help children learn how to learn.
ReplyDeleteThanks Meg! I remember reading about post-modernism and the biggest thing I took away was - there is more than one truth.
DeleteAs the great Rabindranath Tagore once said: "Don't limit a child to your own learning for he was born in another time." This is why as teachers, we are forever learners- including learning from children.
ReplyDeleteI love this quote Kate. We need this on our quote wall.
