Confessions of a PYP Teacher

As I mentioned in my last episode, I was able to interact with many of my eduheroes last week, including Stephanie Harvey. What a firecracker! She is not only quite intelligent and articulate, but she has a fire within the language development for all learners. Something that stayed with me was Writeacide; to die a death of writing worksheets.

How do we get learners to write authentically from their hearts? It’s certainly not from worksheets. Steph shares that inquiry in literature comes from curiosity, comprehension, collaboration, and content. Isn’t that just beautiful? She continues to state that “Inquiry is not always about a final product at the end..it is living in a way that all questions matter…because the more you learn, the more you wonder…and our role is to fan the flame of curiosity.”
Let's learn how to fan the flame of curiosity together!
