During this workshop, we will focus on the systematic research-based conceptual framework of “Visible Learning”, which aims to integrate the development of students' thinking with content learning across MYP subjects. We will also explore barriers in our own classes that may prevent visible learning from flourishing.
In this session, the value of democracy education as a structured part of a school’s curriculum will be emphasized. Examples will be given to illustrate how democracy education can be implemented in different subjects and how a transversal curriculum can be built. Opportunities for democracy education can be found in subjects such as History and Modern Languages. However, ethical questions, such as discrimination through algorithms, can also be analyzed and discussed in Maths or Geography, while impulses for taking action can be demonstrated and practiced in PE. The main aim of this session is to provide ideas on how democratic values can be taught and discussed across various subjects in middle school and how this approach can contribute to a holistic curriculum.
Learn how ISHR has streamlined the MYP Personal Project to make it more effective for students and staff. This workshop covers our revamped instructional sessions, designed to build skills step-by-step, and supervisor allocation process to ensure consistent student support. Participants will see how we organize tasks and submissions to keep students on track and highlight how we host a showcase that truly celebrates their efforts.

In this workshop, we will define and describe the characteristics of dyslexia and sources of reading difficulties. We will explore how reading difficulties intersect with language learning and cultural differences as found in international schools.

We will share our school´s experience including the data collection method, building the curriculum and teaching strategies.
