This session explores how educators can adapt and implement collaborative learning structures from approaches such as Kagan Cooperative Learning, Concept-Based Inquiry, and Project Zero within the IB PYP framework. These strategies foster deeper engagement, student agency, and meaningful inquiry-based learning experiences.
Participants will discover practical, ready-to-use classroom routines that encourage critical thinking, collaboration, and conceptual understanding across subjects, including Social Studies, Science, Maths and Literacy. The session will provide educators with strategies to help students connect ideas across disciplines, develop higher-order thinking skills, and take ownership of their learning.
Through hands-on participation and discussion, educators will leave with concrete tools and adaptable routines to integrate into their units of inquiry, making learning more interactive, student-driven, and engaging.
