Did
you know that a school wishing to implement the IB PYP program is required to
make a commitment to ongoing teacher professional development? Additionally,
the school must be committed to an inquiry-based approach to teaching and
learning that promotes inquiry and the development of critical thinking
skills. The Units of Inquiry utilized at MPES are transdisciplinary
themes that serve as the framework of every IB classroom.
The IB Foundation would like to announce that the proceeds from
Sponsorships and the 2016 Annual Auction will go directly to the International
Baccalaureate program at Morikami. The funds will be utilized to
purchase in-classroom materials (such as books,
videos, posters and resource kits) that support the IB Units of Inquiry.
These materials need to be updated every 3 years and have been selected by
teachers from all grade levels as a ‘must-have.’ Additionally, if funding
permits, the IB Foundation would like to provide Level 3 IB training for a
select number of teachers at Morikami.
Please help us reach our goal of supplying every classroom from
kindergarten through the 5th grade with updated IB materials for our
students. It’s the International Baccalaureate program that makes
Morikami the remarkable school that it is!
We kindly ask you to consider sponsoring the Morikami Park IB Foundation
