Innovation


 * #pypchat Nov. 1st AP **

This week we are taking inspiration from [|Chris Beddows’ recent post in the SharingPYP Blog] and from the recent article in IB World Magazine, 'Does your PYP Exhibition Really Stand Out?' [|https://issuu.com/internationalbaccalaureate/docs/ibw_oct17-eng-web/1?e=2630412/5420276] [|3]

We also know that the Enhanced PYP includes updates to the Exhibition.

“The EXHIBITION will be repositioned as a powerful demonstration of student agency. Improved guidance and teacher support materials will help schools to share the responsibility across the learning community. “ (Preparing for the enhanced PYP document)
