Well, well, well

…. This week, joy and festivity of DP professional development filled the air as we came together to exchange best practices between our partner school: Akademickie Dwujęzyczne Liceum Oxford Secondary School (Akademickie Liceum z maturą międzynarodową IB) and /and with #US.

2 days of fully-packed and meaningful interactions prepared by the Leadership Team and Diploma Programme Teachers from our partners, have enriched & inspired our DP teachers. We all had the quality time together in #DP environment.

Not only, were we welcomed by the DP teachers in their classes for DP Year 1 and Year 2, but also we took part in the workshop on Theory on Knowledge led by dr Jacek Surzyn, who is a very experienced university researcher.

A deep discussion was based on a #Scope of #knowledge (on TOK Course & other DP Courses), so we all provide students with doubt (s) e.g. theories of truth, when ultimately it turns out – during the talks – whether or not any phenomena, can be perceived as truth or not.

Valuable lesson observations on many courses: Language A, Language Acquistion, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Global Politics, TOK, History; meeting up with the Partner School Leadership Team, Pedagogical Boards, Experts & School Faculty; let our DP teachers build up a profesional exchange platform where the teaching methods in Diploma Programme & the significance of DP environment in practice sharing, serve as a reminder of the richness of our local – global diversity in education, fostering unity and understanding among our DP faculties in Poland.

All with one goal: to support our students to achieve their intellectual and holistic growth while at school, so the path to #DiplomaProgramme can bring the highest results during the exams and equip them with XXI century skills.

This wonderful blend of education within the DP environment, and cultural appreciation to our diverse community, but united under the Diploma Programme #umbrella was also an opportunity to share the Language A expertise with DP Teachers by our DP Coordinator dr Monika Lis, and last but not least, by the Deputy Head Mrs Anna Krzemiñska-Kaczyñska on “Locally rooted – globally minded.Knowing your roots while spreading your wings” was also a token of #gratitude for our Partner School Community for fruitful quality time in Bielsko -Biała.

We would like to express our gratitude to #Headmistress of Akademickie Dwujęzyczne Liceum Oxford Secondary School Mrs Agnieszka Strzelecka for opening the door for us to her School.

We are looking forward to welcoming our Partners in Krakow. Feel invited.

Ps. A Happy Valentine’s Day from Bielsko-Biała for all DP education zealots!
