Developing Student Agency & Interdisciplinary Learning

Imagine a school day not confined by the bell. What if we could enable students to blend their learning across different subjects and be the drivers of their own educational journey? 

Join our virtual workshops to foster student agency, develop interdisciplinary learning, and learn to gamify your MYP classroom! Discover practical strategies to promote self-directed learning, create impactful interdisciplinary units for your students, and increase student engagement. 

All sessions will be available in English and Mandarin.
