PYP educator at Canadian International School of Hong Kong (cdnis), IBEN workshop leader and school visitor, CIS school visitor and most importantly Mom.
An incredible 3 days of leading and learning at the Global Jaya school in Jakarta. I facilitated the ‘Making the PYP Happen in the Early Years’ and was surrounded by passionate educators. #IBAPAC#professionaldevelopment#IBEN#IB
Before any #UOI#summativeassessment I like to set my students up for #sucess. This time I asked them to place photos, learning engagements and books from the unit on a time line to review the learning that occurred. #pyp@ibpyp#cdnisls
Presented yesterday to the CDNIS staff on the benefits of being part of the IB educators network. Encouraged others to apply as it has been one of the best professional experiences of my career. Thank you @makkyfung for organizing another successful #weshare#ib#lifelonglearner
‘Someone with a growth mindset is quick to celebrate the success of others. They recognize that behind that momentary success was a backstory of growth.’

Inspired by a conversation I overheard in the staff room on 'static shocks', I brought the issue to the Y5 classes at @ThinkSchoolHK for them to solve. I have now received four emails with reasons & solutions, and the students are calling themselves 'energy detectives'! #science
I covered a Y5 class today and was able to implement a strategy from ‘Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics’. A fantastic open ended question allowing for different approaches from the students! @pgliljedahl#math#inquiryapproach @ThinkSchoolHK

I just received this token of appreciation from a colleague and I can’t describe in words how much it means to me. Notes of encouragement let people know that what they do is noticed. #gratitude#leadership#appreciation
Looking forward to our book club this Saturday. Came across this quote 'Pay isn't a carrot we need to dangle to motivate people - it's a symbol of how much we value them.' Am now wondering what other ways do schools show how they value the staff? @natrosshk@SuzanneMcClusk1
This group provided me with inspiration, support and ideas last year and I’m looking forward to joining it again this year. Please join us for discussions and sharing. #sheleads
