AGIS Conference 2024 Potsdam

A series of interactive activities that ignite creativity, build teamwork, and solidify key business concepts. Help your students to work together to problem solve and understand key quantitative tools from the Business Management course.

Supercharge your starters by learning about the connections game. Get up and active and make decision trees out of PE equipment. Use Lego to demonstrate the different types of production methods. Problem solve and help a company that accidentally shredded their final accounts! Piece them back together in the right order and categories. Use the sweet side of capacity utilisation to physically and deliciously use this tool and if there’s time have a brain break with a solid game of tri-dominoes.

With a new syllabus and over 30,000 Business Management students worldwide, now is the perfect time to add some new methods to your teacher toolkit. It would be a great opportunity to network and establish some solid connections for Business Management within the AGIS network for moderation of IA’s and the sharing of resources.

I would like to share my expertise gathered over 20+ years of teaching visual arts and DT to primary, elementary, and middle school students. Building a community of passionate teachers who are interested in visual arts and its integration as well as an exchange of ideas is the main reason to attend this workshop. We will be sharing expertise on how to design successful stand-alone units in visual arts as well as integrating art into the PYP program and other subjects such as math, music, language development, and storytelling. A full-day workshop will include a practical exploration of materials and the development of units relevant to the curriculum framework being offered in participants’s schools. Within the workshop participants will be given examples of successful/unsuccessful art integration and invited to share their own stories of teaching.

In this workshop I will present how to guide students from grades 6 through 12 on an exciting journey into the world of creative poetry writing. I will give examples of engaging activities and interactive discussions that will help students learn to harness their imagination, explore various poetic forms, and express themselves through the power of language. This workshop is designed to inspire budding poets, ignite their passion for writing, and cultivate their unique voices. By delving into the essence of poetry, dissecting its forms, and encouraging experimentation, students will not only develop essential literary skills but also foster creativity, critical thinking, and self-confidence. Through peer collaboration and supportive guidance, participants will have the opportunity to explore diverse themes, perspectives, and emotions, enriching their understanding of themselves and the world around them. Ultimately, this workshop aims to provide teachers with tools to guide students to become confident, articulate, and expressive writers, equipped with the skills and inspiration to continue their poetic journey beyond the classroom.

Struggling to find listening materials to prepare students for the Paper 1 listening exam? Come join us!

This session will support DP Language Ab initio & Language B teachers to develop their own listening assessment materials that are specifically tailored to the DP Paper 1 Listening exams (any Language B such as French, Spanish, Mandarin, English, German etc).

Here's a brief outline of the session:

• An overview of the Paper 1 listening component, its structure and question types
• Discussion of listening resources & platforms 
• Hands-on activity: Participants to choose short audio file (I'd provide several) and create specific exam-type questions.

Participants will need to bring headphones.

Hope to see you there!
