I.B. in Pre-K
Heards Ferry Elementary School is in the candidacy phase of becoming an I.B. PYP school. The I.B. program is based upon the inquiry method which is simply teaching with the 'question' framework. Our natural questioning of 'Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How' come to life in the classroom with the early years. As we ask questions and steer our learning to finding the answers to our questions, we also consider ourselves as having the skills and characteristics of being an I.B. Learner.
The Basis of I.B. is reflective, and teaching students to question not only external things, but internal attitudes toward learning. The I.B. vocabulary is key at the early stages to create a strong foundation and a curious learner. |
