Inspired by the amazing team at St. Brendan’s School, Montevideo 🌟
Teachers reflected so honestly on modelled lessons—realising the power of trust, agency choice for their learners.
Can’t wait to return next year! 🙏

Re-reading Teaching for Understanding by David Perkins reminds me: real learning isn't about recall—it's about reasoning, relevance, and transfer.
Students do the thinking. Teachers create the context.
A shift from coverage to connection.

A few evenings connecting with the wonderful teams from The British Schools of Montevideo where each year level planned for their first unit "Who We Are" with a focus on inquiry and continuous assessment.

Trees are so fascinating, the closer you look the more stories they tell. When we slow down to observe nature there are many opportunites for discovery and storytelling. Fortunate to discover this wonder in Valencia. What stories live here? #IGE #conceptsinaction

Exciting when you turn up to plan with teachers and they all have a copy of your book "Taking the Complexity out of Concepts." Even better when they explain how they have been using it. Such a great day planning with the Year 5 team at American School of Madrid. #conceptsinaction

Assessing conceptual understanding actively engages students in the process, ensuring that educators and students can effectively plan to build upon existing knowledge and understanding. @ElevateBooksEdu #conceptsinaction #assessmentinaction #ige

Remember to slow down, listen, observe and plan in response to students. It has been a joy to collaborate with the amazing EY team led by @jackie_becher at @BCISonline This is such an important reminder and reflection from their PYPC Dan Zhu #conceptsinaction #IGE

Focussing on the conceptual nature of learning, moving from a focus on topics, opens up learning to be interdisciplinary/transdisciplinary. Promoting authentic connections across the curriculum and transfer and application of understanding. Making the shift. #conceptsinaction

A joy to learn along side children at Shanghai American School where we explored artefacts to build an understanding of historical evidence and then shared theories of our understanding of time. #conceptsinaction

What does an authentic conceptual link across the curriculum look like? Below demonstrates the difference between learning as a topic and connecting to learning conceptually to build understanding and conceptual transfer. How do you promote conceptual links? #conceptsinaction

It was wonderful to connect with around 100 educators from MYP and DP at Colegio Anglo Colombiano where we focussed on Conceptual Inquiry, a part of their high quality learning and considered the questions below #conceptsinaction

What does it meant to understand? What is the difference between knowing about something and understanding something? What are students doing when they conceptually understand? #conceptsinaction

Building understanding involves making sense of learning, seeing patterns and connections. It was wonderful to model this and promote participants as sense makers at the Victorian PYP Network where we unpacked the role of continuous assessment of understanding. #conceptsinaction
