Concept Based Learning
!
In the PYP, concepts and conceptual questions drive the way we teach and learn in a transdisciplinary context. This workshop will
explore concepts in greater depth. You will review the theory behind conceptual thinking, develop a better understanding of key and related concepts and analyse the programme of inquiry and units of inquiry through different conceptual lenses. You will also
explore practical ways of assessing a learner’s conceptual understanding within a unit of inquiry.
Thursday 6 - Saturday 8 December, 2018
•Concepts are integral to the inquiry process and one of the essential elements of the PYP.
• A concept-driven curriculum promotes meaning and understanding, and challenges students to engage authentically with significant ideas.
• A concept-driven curriculum challenges the memorisation of isolated facts and the mastery of skills out of context.
• The exploration and re-exploration of concepts lead students towards an appreciation of ideas that transcend disciplinary boundaries as well as towards the essence of each subject area.
• In addition to the key concepts, each discipline has powerful related concepts that also support inquiry.
• The IB scope and sequence documents are written as conceptual understandings to provide a platform for knowledge and skills development – concepts before content.
• Concept based teaching and learning offers a solution to the ‘crowded curriculum’ by linking students’ interests to essential understandings that are transferable across disciplines.
• The concepts are explicit at all stages of curriculum planning, in the central idea, the lines of inquiry, provocations to inquire and assessment.
• There are other IB professional development that can enhance an understanding of concepts.
Workshop UnderstandingsThe Concept Based Learning workshop aims to develop the following understandings::

Accommodation Information We find that it is easier for participants to make their own hotel arrangements, as often internet deals are better value, and can be booked with flights.
Most participants find it is convenient to stay in the centre of the city and take the short commute to school. Schwedenplatz area is recommended. Hotels close to U1 ubahn stations are the most convenient.
