这次校长和专家的来访为我校带来了很多见解和收获，他们的反馈将丰富我们的教学实践，为学生提供更加丰富多样的学习体验。我们期待与姐妹学校、与IB领域的专家们通力合作，提升教育、教学质量，共同推进学校的发展。

在接下来的教学中，VPA的老师们将更积极地将探究的方法和理念应用于课堂，鼓励我们的孩子成为积极思考、勇于探究的IB学习者。

Saturday was our school's teacher professional development day, and Shaz Bailey conducted a training session for all teachers on "Inquiry-based Learning" and "Concept-Driven Design." She guided the teachers in discussing the significance, methods, and strategies of inquiry and deepened their understanding of the role of "concept-driven instructional design" in promoting students' higher-order understanding and interdisciplinary comprehension.

Shaz Bailey is an IB expert with 35 years of teaching and leadership experience. She serves as an IB trainer and authorization visitor. She has profound insights into the PYP curriculum and rich experience as an authorized visitor. Shaz's research areas include inquiry-based learning and concept-driven design. During the two-day training visit, Shaz visited classrooms with our school's teaching team, understood the students' learning situations, and shared with the teachers how to use the language of the IB, including learner profile attributes, approaches to learning, and concepts, to truly create "thinking classrooms" and "inquiry classrooms." Shaz and Ross provided our teaching team with valuable advice, from which we greatly benefited.

The visit of the principal and experts has brought us many insights and gains. Their feedback will enrich our teaching practices and provide students with more diverse and enriching learning experiences. We look forward to collaborating with sister schools and experts in the field of IB to enhance the quality of education and teaching and promote the development of our school together.

Through this workshop, the teachers at VPA engaged in deep communication and reflection, reaching a consensus on the concept of inquiry. They have become familiar with various types of inquiry models and have mastered a wealth of inquiry strategies. Research-oriented teachers will seize children's curiosity at all stages, starting from their personal interests and experiences, driving them to continuously ask questions and think deeply. In this process, children will enjoy the surprises and discoveries of the inquiry journey, turning learning into a fun and self-driven process.

In the upcoming teaching, VPA teachers will actively apply inquiry methods and concepts in the classroom, encouraging our children to become active thinkers and inquisitive IB learners.
