Learning dynamics: The IB curricula aren’t stagnant
The IB curricula aren’t stagnant. When a teacher receives a student group for the first time, it is necessary to assess the various skill levels and learning dynamics of the group. Teachers are given the opportunity to be dynamic in order to grow and advance the learning process, and add to their curriculum year on year.
No two children absorb information in the same manner. Teaching staff are constantly aware of the need to deliver a variety of teaching and learning techniques to get information across to their students.
Taking this one step further, IB students are inquirers, and teachers are constantly assessing this skill level in students – to gather information and knowledge on their own accord. Some students are natural risk-takers while other students start out safe and need to be encouraged over time to take their learning into their own hands.
This approach ensures students of a variety of skill levels, and with different learning dynamics are able to receive and explore, absorb and make use of knowledge. They are able to progress through the IB curricula with confidence.
