2 12-13 January 2018 SEK International School Qatar By Anne van Dam Learning Environments in the Early Years Workshop Leader Anne van Dam. Early years education has been Anne s passion for more than 25 years. She has worked in schools in the Netherlands, China, Singapore and Switzerland as a teacher, PYP coordinator and principal. As a PYP visiting team member and workshop leader, she tremendously enjoys supporting teachers with the implementation of the IB PYP framework. Her beliefs about learning are centered around relationships, play, learning spaces (both inside and outside) and on making teaching and learning visible to others. Anne moved back to the Netherlands in This has given her the opportunity to work with the PYP development team at the IB regional office in The Hague. Anne has have been working on the PYP review focusing on student agency, early years, inquiry and the several aspects of the learning community. She still works as an IB workshop leader and workshop developer and collaborates with international schools as an independent educational consultant. Workshop Description This workshop explores the pivotal role of the environment in young children s learning. Research informs us that young children primarily learn through their interactions with the social and physical world. A learning environment that supports and extends young children s curiosity will promote learning in all developmental areas. Open ended materials and spaces, both inside and outside need to be carefully considered and prepared for children s investigations and learning. The workshop will also explore the use of loose parts and how these enhance creativity and opportunities for symbolic representation and expression. Audience: Early years coordinators and teachers Language: English 2

5 12-13 January 2018 SEK International School Qatar By Andrea Muller Teaching Beyond the Facts: The Role of Concepts in Student Centered Learning Workshop Leader Andrea MULLER is an experienced international teacher, administrator and consultant who has worked in and with many schools throughout New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Middle East and Europe. In these settings, she has had roles that include curriculum coordinator and adviser, and global education program manager. Her current role is consultant and Director for Innovative Global Education. In this role, she works extensively in Asia Pacific and Middle East. Critical to this role is leading and evolving a sustainable model of professional learning. This model involves reviving and designing curriculum frameworks; coaching and mentoring in classrooms; reviewing and refining planning, teaching and assessment which supports current and researched educational practices in both local and international settings. Andrea is a co-author of a recent publication: Taking the Complexity Out of Concepts Workshop Description Conceptual learning involves designing learning around ideas of significance that have relevance in life within and beyond the classroom. These ideas provide the why and purpose to student learning ensuring that learning is meaningful and transferable in different contexts and lead to deep understanding. The teacher s questions and provocations are what initially drive investigation, and it is the result of this process that we see students own critical wonderings emerge IGE This workshop will focus on how to effectively plan and teach for conceptual learning. It will provide an opportunity to plan and assess a unit of work conceptually. As a way of understanding the role of concepts in student centered learning, the workshop will also examine the pedagogy of inquiry. It will provide educators with strategies to capture and maximize student s curiosities, to develop practices for recognizing authentic conceptual inquiry using concepts as well as ideas for designing learning environments that optimize conceptual thinking Audience: Educators, curriculum managers, administrators K-10 Language: English 5

Traditional curriculum often assumes the deep understanding of concepts, and fails to teach for transferability, or to consider context. With the exponential growth of information and knowledge students need to move to a higher level of abstraction. We need to develop students ability to critically think and reason, in order to solve complex problems and create new ideas. 13
