MS.SARANYA CHANDRASEKHAR - IB PYP COORDINATOR
At Manchester International School, IB Primary Years Programme offers opportunities to inquire through the lens of concepts to acquire 21st-century learning skills. Student Agency operates as a tool to accomplish the constructive approach in PYP. Students have the space to design and demonstrate their knowledge and conceptual understanding.
Technology plays an integral role in accelerating the learning process. Every child's ownership of learning is evident from their technical skills. We strive to enhance their learning styles and need to discover their upgraded version. The inquiry-based learning encourages a child to ask questions, identify resources, plan strategies, evaluate through experiments, go on field trips, and stage knowledge through their actions to build a sustainable world.
Every child is unique. We take the responsibility to differentiate and flourish their inner talents to elevate their skills. Involving children in international projects, events, and talk shows, integrated with UN Sustainable Development Goals, help enrich their caliber to address the global challenges and evolve as better humans.
As a PYP Coordinator, it is my responsibility to develop a learning platform to cultivate the attributes of a learner and ensure their physical, emotional, cognitive, spiritual, and social well-being to transform them into global citizens.
