Monday Professional Learning Day

Monday was a valuable opportunity for our community of educators to come together in a spirit of collaboration, growth, and shared purpose. 

The morning sessions were held within divisions, with teams delving into focus areas such as Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) strategies, self-study preparations, and Toddle training. The goal was to deepen our impact on student learning and strengthen programme delivery. 

We gathered as a whole school in the afternoon to connect and reflect. Together, we explored updates from the IB coordinators, celebrated recent successes across the school, and heard inspiring highlights from our Athletics and Activities programme. We also shared updates on our Toddle implementation while reaffirming our commitment to staff wellness and our continued focus on DEIJB. 

周一教师专业发展日

周一这一天，为我们的教育工作者们搭建了一个极为宝贵的交流平台，让大家能够秉持协作精神、怀揣成长愿景、心怀共同目标相聚于此。

上午的会议按不同部门分别开展，各个团队围绕重点领域展开了深入探讨，像SIOP（庇护式教学模式）策略、自学筹备工作以及Toddle培训等内容都在研讨之列。我们的目标很明确，就是要进一步深化对学生学习的影响力，同时强化课程的实施效果。

下午，全校师生齐聚一堂，大家相互交流心得、反思过往经历。我们一同聆听了IB（国际文凭组织）协调员带来的最新动态，共同庆祝了学校近期取得的各项优异成绩，还兴致勃勃地听取了体育与课外活动项目带来的振奋人心的精彩亮点介绍。此外，我们也分享了Toddle（一款教育管理软件/平台）的实施进展情况，同时再次坚定地重申了对员工健康福祉的关怀承诺，以及对多样性、公平性、包容性、正义性、归属感（DEIJB）这一理念的持续关注。
