Role+of+Single+Subject+Teachers

media type="custom" key="21620834"The //Role of Single Subject Teachers// will be our final topic of discussion for 2012. Join us for the December 13th #pypchat.

Possible Discussion Questions:

 * 1) How does your school provide time for Single Subject Teachers (SSTs) to collaborate with class teachers?
 * 2) What aspects of the PYP do you use to strengthen transdisciplinary learning?
 * 3) How are the single subject teachers involved in UOI planning?
 * 4) Do SST's ever take on the major role in a UOI, backed up by class teachers not other way around?
 * 5) How do SST juggle UOIs and other unrelated school expectations (e.g. preparing performances for assemblies/special events)?
 * 6) What is the most important aspect for SSTs to focus on? Concepts? Skills? Other?
