Send us a textIn this challenge, we are going to explore understanding and unpacking the transdisciplinary theme descriptors. It took me a long time to realize the importance of them, because my teams never talked about them. We didn’t make the themes a part of our unit planning, so they never got taught. About my 10th year in the PYP, I wondered what would happen if I taught the students the meaning of the descriptors, so they could understand the bigger picture of the unit, Then, I began digging into the descriptors themselves and realized that they were families of concepts that were separated by semicolons. Stay with us to learn about how to unpack the themes to get the most out of them. For a written blog post and other resources, visit: https://thinkchat2020.weebly.com/Thanks for listening!
