Send us a textThis episode came from a question that was posed by Nirali Parikh, a transitional kindergarten teacher, originally from India that works at the Creation Village World School in Celebration, Florida. I’ve had the pleasure to work with Nirali on several occasions and she makes me think differently about the capabilities of an early years child. If you haven’t already, consider following Nirali on Twitter @NiraliParikh7. Here is Nirali’s question: What are the expectations of a school? This simple question spreads its tentacles into every aspect of the school building. How are the expectations seen throughout the campus? One way I believe a school has clear expectations is that its practices align with the PYP transdisciplinary approach to learning and teaching. It’s visible as you walk through the campus within and beyond the classrooms. We will explore this question and another by Emmanouil Zerai: @E_zerai, a PYP homeroom teacher at the International School of the Stockholm Region (ISSR).For a written blog post and other resources, visit: https://thinkchat2020.weebly.comThanks for listening!
