Ignite Your Creativity: Transform Movement Composition Units

Embark on a journey of movement exploration and innovation with our collaborative workshop designed to revolutionise your MYP Movement Composition units. Join fellow PHE teachers as we delve into the latest trends, viral challenges, and groundbreaking teaching techniques to transform your lessons into captivating experiences for your students.

Unlock Your Inner Choreographer and Empower Your Students' Creativity

Engage with fellow educators, exchange ideas, and discover fresh approaches (utilising knowledge from the British system) that will make your Movement Composition classes truly unforgettable. Together, we'll unleash your students' creativity and foster a love for physical expression and encouraging students to embrace their unique talents and perspectives.

No Prior Dance or Gymnastics Experience Required

Whether you're a seasoned PHE teacher or a budding educator, this workshop is designed for all skill levels. Come prepared to actively participate and showcase your own skills. Embrace the joy of movement and discover the transformative power of creativity in your lessons.

In this session we will explore ways to make the MYP more accessible and inclusive for learners of
varying backgrounds and abilities. We will look at ways to allow non-native speakers to access the key concepts and develop their analytical skills, representation and voice, and making content manageable for struggling readers. From ATLs to Global Contexts, we will look at where barriers might exist and how we can break them down. This session is geared primarily toward teachers of English but also will include a few examples for German and should be transferable to any Language and Literature course.

Highly recommended for any subject teacher and librarian interested in learning the many types of collaboration and documenting it for school accreditation. Collaboration between subject teacher and librarian can be used to allow students to share their research journey whilst working on any criterion-based research subject task. We will show how students are provided with a learning engagement that is structured and supports independent learning and reflection. This session will include the use of learning management system that you use in school (such as Managebac, Toddle, Moodle, Seesaw, Blackboard, Google Classroom, LibGuides, library research database, etc. ) and the information literacy/research process. Attendees are expected to bring a sample of their criterion-based assessment or project-based lesson plans that requires utilizing the library resources and referencing.
