- POI maintenance: You’ll take an eagle-eye view and manage units throughout the year to maintain vertical and horizontal alignment
- Leading the learning: You’ll be leading the learning by creating professional development opportunities that align with teacher needs and the school’s wider strategic plan.
But that’s not all! This resource also includes a sample schedule of the day in the life of a PYP coordinator so you can get a better sense of what your day-to-day responsibilities might look like. It’s the perfect starting point for new coordinators or for teacher leaders who are considering taking on the role.
