Concept-based inquiry sounds straightforward until you're standing in front of a unit plan wondering how to actually get students engaging with concepts rather than just content. This mini workshop breaks the process down into a clear, repeatable approaches you can use with any unit, any grade level, starting this week.
Aligned with the strategies directly from the IBO, I'm sharing what these look like in practice, tried and tested in real PYP classrooms. You'll walk away with a collection of ideas and tools to support your planning and, confidence to put it into practice! INSTANT access here.
You've read the frameworks and you understand the theory. But when you sit down to design a unit, the planning documents feel dense and the steps feel disconnected. This mini workshop gives you a clear, step-by-step blueprint that takes you from a whisper of an idea to a fully planned concept-based unit of inquiry. You'll learn how to move from concept to central idea to lines of inquiry, how to write a central idea that actually works, and how to build assessment into your plan from day one, not as an afterthought.
With real examples showing three different units moving through the process, you'll walk away with a framework you can use again and again and a unit plan you can start teaching immediately. Be inspired, be confident, be ready! Click here for INSTANT access.
