PYP Enhancements: Learning – Developing a Programme of Inquiry – Angeline Aow

In Oct 2018 the International Baccalaureate will release the long-awaited Primary Years Programme (PYP) Principles into Practice. Elements of this new curriculum framework have slowly been released over the last year and it has ignited a buzz of critical conversations across the PYP community. In anticipation of the release of these Enhancements, a number of leading PYP educators from around the world have been interviewed about their thoughts, hopes, expectations and developing understanding of the upcoming enhancements. In this episode, Sarah Gilmore interviews Angeline Aow about developing a Programme of Inquiry.  Angeline has been a PYP educator since 2002 when she worked in Nanjing International School, the first full IB continuum school in China. Since 2005 she has worked at Berlin International School and has been a homeroom teacher, music specialist, and PYP coordinator. For more than a decade, Angeline has been a PYP workshop leader, team leader for visits and in these roles, she has worked in the Asia-Pacific, European, Middle-East and African regions. With over a decade of experience as a workshop leader she has facilitated multiple workshops on a variety of topics and categories. Her areas of expertise include PYP written curriculum development, and concept-based frameworks. As a trained concept-based curriculum trainer and presenter she has worked with schools to develop their programmes of inquiry and units of inquiry within a transdisciplinary/interdisciplinary framework as well as stand-alone disciplinary concept-based units. You can follow Angeline on Twitter, or visit her website here. Professional Learning International would like to note that these podcasts have been developed independently from the IB and were created with the intent to promote understanding, implementation and in support of educators around the globe. All content are the individuals’ perspectives and are interpretations of programme documentation that these IB Educators have access to through their IB schools and IB Educator Network roles.
