Category 3 New Workshop
'Special Education Needs' - Many times when a student enters a school with little history it is difficult to assess their needs immediately. Even when initial discussions have taken place on background and learning needs it may take time to register all the learning needs. It is very important that time is not wasted and motivation and well being of the student is not demoralized as they progress through their new school environment. There needs to be cohesive information gathering which can be built on over time and practical strategies that help all staff concerned support the learner in their class. Sometimes in the early stages assumptions may not be clear and this can lead to misleading decisions about the true nature of a student’s needs. This workshop seeks to clarify this process so that decisions are based on sound principles.
‘Language and Learning – Implementing a school language policy’ is for school practitioners who have input into, and/or the responsibility of, facilitating the implementation, development and review of their school language policy as required by the Programme Standards and Practices: B1.20, IBO (2005)
The school has a written language policy (including its provision for second language teaching and mother-tongue language support) that meets the needs of the students and reflects the principles of the programme
A dynamic school language policy is an essential part of planning the frameworks that are necessary for whole school good practice in learning in more than one language. This workshop is designed to closely reflect the ideas and pedagogy referred to in the position paper ‘Learning in a language other than a mother tongue in IB programmes’ and the procedures described in ‘Guidelines for developing a school language policy’.
'Teacher-Librarians' - The overall purpose of this workshop is to explore IB programme standard: The school recognizes and promotes the role of the library/media centre in the implementation of the programme.
The function of the workshop is to examine the relationship of the library, librarian/teacher-librarian, and the IB programme(s) of the school. The workshop will focus on the use of web 2.0 tools such as blogs to support information literacy skills, student learning and reflection; research skills and the PYP exhibition, the MYP personal project and the DP extended essay; the learner profile and the library; academic honesty.
