Introduction to the MYP Pak Patrick –MYP Coordinator IbuPopy – MYP Associate, Personal Project Coordinator Pak Nanang- Community Project Coordinator Ibu Dani, Workshop Leader
Vision Global Jaya International School facilitates the development of lifelong learners who • are creative problem solvers with a broad perspective of the world around them • are respectful, moral individuals who take pride in their national heritage • are equipped to participate in the international community as team members and leaders.
MISSION STATEMENT Based on the vision, Global Jaya International School will • provide experiences through which the knowledge and skills necessary to encourage problem solving are developed • cater for individual learning needs and a range of learning styles • develop students’ communication skills to actualise their academic potential in both English and Bahasa Indonesia or their mother tongue • deliver and enrich an internationally accredited curriculum within an Indonesian context.
Teaching Contexts • Context adds structure and meaning • Think of the Photographer framing a photoshot • Selecting a lens • Zooming in and out to create an impact http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=172u7xKjCr8
Conceptual Understanding • Imagine you go to a doctor with a stomach-pain you never had before • Or to a mechanic because you car suddenly does not start • The response you get is “There is no reason why this is happening”…….
Learners approach new information with existing understanding of the world • Concept teaching captures this understanding to help learners organize learning • Change: Something changed, there must be a cause, a process, and effect.
