On October 8, 2023, Dublin welcomed passionate educators and administrators from around the globe at the IB Global Conference and Heads World Conference. Among these esteemed professionals, Molly Mosier, the MYP Coordinator at ISD, presented.
Her presentation on ‘Student Agency in the MYP’ provided insights into the importance of embedding opportunities for agency within every facet of the MYP curriculum, whether written, taught, or assessed. By offering these opportunities, students are given the tools to develop essential skills, lead their own learning, and engage deeply in their educational journey.
What does such a student-centric approach lead to? An environment rich in opportunities for agency ensures students are well-prepared to undertake the Personal Project in Grade 10, marking a significant milestone in their MYP journey and setting a solid foundation for their transition into the Diploma Programme.
At ISD, a commitment to the holistic development of students has always been prioritized. The presentation by Molly at this prestigious platform reiterates ISD’s dedication to nurturing future leaders who are proactive, skilled, and, most importantly, passionate learners.
