Every resource, course, and strategy on PYP Teaching Tools comes from years of hands-on experience in real PYP classrooms, not theory, but practice that's been tested where it matters most. We know what it's like to plan a unit of inquiry, to balance student agency with curriculum requirements, and to search for tools that actually work with real learners. That's why everything here is practical, ready to use, and grounded in how inquiry truly unfolds in the classroom.
That experience shapes all of our professional development, which lives right here on PYPTeachingTools.com where you can learn at your own pace and on your own schedule. Whether you're exploring free tips and strategies for concept-based, student-led inquiry on the PYP Teaching Tools blog, or diving deeper with the Essentials for Inquiry Online Course, there's something here to meet your needs. You can also join the Monthly Membership, which is packed with practical strategies, ready-to-use tools, and fresh ideas to inspire your teaching every month.
No matter your level of experience with concept-based inquiry, you'll find resources and support to help you grow in confidence and creativity. PYP Teaching Tools is designed to help you strengthen your inquiry practice and bring authentic, engaging learning to life... anytime, anywhere.
Essentials for Inquiry has grown to include professional development workshops and global webinars, all bringing my enthusiasm for inquiry-based learning into schools and inspiring teachers from all around the world with my sincere, heartfelt passion for student-led inquiry.
My online professional development course, Essentials for Inquiry: Getting Started with Student-Led Inquiry, began in 2019. Following on from my popular blog, PYPteachingtools.com, I recognised a need in our global community for an easy to implement, step-by-step programme that would bring practical tips and tools to teachers who were looking to bring authentic, student-led inquiry into their classroom. Since then, I have had the privilege of sharing my passion with hundreds of teacher-facilitators, IB PYP Coordinators and Headteachers through my online learning platform.
