PSAT 2019 Student List

Monday Morning

Happy Friday All,

A reminder that all teachers/teaching assistants not involved in the PYP session with Junlah or the TOK session with Rajesh will  begin in the PAC at 8:00am Monday Morning, October 7th with a session designed to unearth a little more about inclusive practices at NIS, and ways we can support and scale these in the context of our (newly articulated) Learning Principles. Coffee/tea will be provided and the session will likely wrap-up just before the 10:00am Break (which will be in the Staff Lounge). Just bring yourself and your well-rested brains!

For more details about how the day looks after that, please see the bespoke schedules from Katie (MS/US) and Adam/Junlah (PS). The usual Break accoutriments (10:00-10:20am) and lunch for all Staff (12:30-1:30pm) will be provided.

 

Also, a quick note that Friday, October 18th is a “normal” Professional Learning Day for everyone, regardless of our status participating, presenting, or support Learning2. More details to come on how this will work with most rooms and learning spaces in use for the conference. #wehaveaplan
