<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">As workshop leaders you will have to prepare a workshop following the guidelines in the PYP workshop handbook. You will also have a template on which to plan the whole workshop experience. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">In order to recreate this experience we have chosen 4 big ideas of the PYP which relate to the enduring understandings of Category 1 workshop //An introduction to the PYP curriculum model,// for each group to plan a learning experience which will help participants understand the big idea assigned to your group. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">When preparing this assignment you must consider: <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">a. The groups will be set by the presenters but the BIG IDEA will be assigned randomly. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">b. You must plan a full learning experience (what do we want participants to understand – how will I know they have understood it – what learning experience will we develop) on the template to show how you would develop understanding of the BIG IDEA your group has been assigned. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">c. When presenting you must:


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">make sure every member of the group has the opportunity to show his/her presentation skills;
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">take into account the strategies used/mentioned/discussed in the Academy;
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">make sure you pay as much attention to what you are conveying as well as to how you are doing it;

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">d. The presentation cannot last more than 15 minutes. There will be a 5 minute preparation / set up time between each presentation. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">e. Every participant will have an assessment tool to assess each group’s presentation. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">f. At the end of all the presentations every group will be given their written feedback to reflect on their performance before a final, whole group debriefing.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Big ideas: INTERNATIONAL MINDEDNESS – TRANSDISCIPINARY LEARNING – THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS – TEACHING AND LEARNING
