Ss evaluate potential experimental questions with the SMART acronym. What is the goal of the question? Which cross-cutting concept does the question relate to? #ngsschat #mypscience AISM #aismlearns

#mypDesign ss uses forced perspective photos to bring his container home design for transportable emergency housing for climate refugees to life. Designing new solutions to real world problems AISM #mypdesignchat

G6 personalize their design room stools through stenciling of their personal logos. A new application of a great approach from Brittany Morgan Kirkwood back at #sis AISM #aismlearns #mypdesign

Ss work with scaling factors to bring their container homes for climate refugees to life as 3D prototypes. Mozambique is ground zero for the impacts of climate change and students are planning scalable solutions to housing post cyclone #mypdesign #climateresiliance AISM

Beyond the ugliness of competition, most school awards are essentially about compliance: If kids are outstandingly dutiful, we're spared from examining the value of what we ask them to do.
(Likewise, references to kids' 'motivation' or 'engagement' are often code for obedience.)

Ss design devices to minimize the impact of collision forces through our Egg-o-naut rocket design project. #ngsschat #pbl #engineeringed AISM

Ss design in 2D and 3D - container homes for #climaterefugees in Beira. 3 years on from #cyclone Idai, more than 100,000 remain homeless. Design class provides an ideal place to link service and learning. AISM #mypdesign

Learners jigsaw to explore the evidence for plate tectonic motion. Building dialogue around examination of evidence. Is this strong evidence by itself? #aismlearns #studentcentered AISM

Proud to be out and celebrating LGBTQIA+ community in a supporting school. #IDAHOT AISM #LGBTQIA

Gr8 ss evaluate the potential benefits of a white shark conservation area based on data. Amazing that they identified the Farallon islands as the location for their proposed conservation area. #ngss #inquiry AISM #marinebiology #pbl

Totally a mutual pleasure. #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

My girl R Hennigar knows how to bring out amazing ideas from her learners. #looseparts AISM

Amazing colleagues put on a spontaneous concert for students at lunch time AISM

What kinds of #birds live in the #mangroves of #Maputo ? What do they eat? What other creatures live here? These are a few questions our AISM G1 learners considered on a recent field trip. #aismlearns #aismexplores #aisminquires R Hennigar Raana Hibbs

So great to have families and learners on campus for our IB MYP Personal Project celebration. Strip away the excess, focus on real interests and action, make products public! #AISMlearns AISM Peter Hennigar Terry Maguire Michael BondClegg AISM Director

Last night we had our #MYP #PersonalProject Showcase on campus AISM! Proud of our G10 learners who organized the event & shared their learning journeys w community members. Grateful to amazing colleague Peter Hennigar for his coordination. #aismlearns #aismcelebrates #mypchat

G10 MYP ss use the Three Way Feedback protocol adapted from Stephen 🌏 Taylor to begin in process reflecting for #mypPP . How have you been using the ATL skills to achieve your success criteria? #aismlearns #personalproject #MYPchat Terry Maguire Michael BondClegg

Self selected question: Does water change the characteristics of sound? G8 Ss conduct self-designed experiment to measure the impact of water on sound frequency, amplitude and wavelength. #aismlearns #ngsschat #inquiry #studentvoice

I loved how it was possible to reach out to anyone because everyone was at Home. Connected with experts and watched as students found new sources of information. Personalized control of learning. #PubPDAfrica

A1- we definitely realized that education doesn’t just have to live in the classroom. Covid blew up the idea of what a classroom could mean or look like. #PubPDAfrica
