 * 5) Authorisation visit –brief outline of what can be expected.
 * 6) Implementation of MYP –the challenge of modifying your school’s current curriculum to fit the MYP framework with its emphasis on holistic education.
 * 7) Collaboration exercise –what are some strategies you could use to encourage your teachers to begin to talk and work with one another…….each group had a different “topic”; ideas were uploaded to the wiki.
 * 8) Homework: Start completing your peer action plan.



Self reflection is an important strategy for IB learners. Consider each of the 8 points above and think about which of these:
 * You connected with? - Some of the concept questions prompted good discussions.
 * Extended your thinking? (if so, how?) and - see above file for personal notes and reflections
 * Which challenged you? - how much i still need to do

Find someone you have not spoken to yet and in pairs, take it in turns to share your thoughts. Would anyone like to share with the whole group what their new learning partner disclosed that you found interesting and/or insightful?
