Classroom Learning is for Teachers, too!

Over the last weeks our classroom teachers had an opportunity to visit with fellow teachers at the French American School in Portland.
The purpose of these visits was to offer an opportunity to learn more about the Primary Year Program that runs successfully at FAIS.
Our teachers met with the school's program coordinator (a role that we at GSP will fill very soon) and observed instruction. in various classroom settings.
While we learned about the PYP (Primary Year Program) in shorter workshops during staff development days and meetings, this was the first time our teachers had an opportunity to see the program in action.
We all took away ideas about how this could look like in our unique GSP setting. Here is a link with more information about the Primary Year Program: IB Primary Year Program
Starting in January GSP will be able to officially apply for candidacy with the IB program and I am planning to share more information with you about these exciting developments very soon!
