New Event

Concepts aren't a box to tick on the planner — they're the thinking the planner should scaffold. As the MYP Enhancements reshape what's required, learn to use concepts as tools for thinking, not just for planning. For MYP teachers across subjects who want to move beyond the SoI as an artefact and into the conceptual work it was meant to make possible.

What you'll explore

How concepts work at different scales — and how to design for both breadth and depth within a single unit

The difference between students using concepts to validate ideas and using concepts to discover them — and how to design for each

How to design across three stages of conceptual thinking: activating prior understanding, deepening through new contexts, and consolidating into transferable generalisations

How to write teacher-facing generalisations that guide your planning, paired with guiding questions that invite students to build their own understandings

Concepts in practice, not just on the planner

Most MYP teachers were trained to write a Statement of Inquiry and work toward it. Far fewer have been shown how to use concepts as tools in the classroom — to develop student thinking across a unit, not just to anchor a planner. This is three hours of focused work alongside colleagues who take concepts seriously. Bring a unit you're planning or teaching. Draft a generalisation for yourself. Design guiding questions for your students. Leave with something you can use immediately. A live working session, capped at 25. Independent PD, not IB-approved — practical, focused and grounded in my own practice and research.

Save your spot

Places are capped at 25 to keep the conversation real. The session is live and will not be recorded — this is collaborative working time with peers, not a webinar to catch up on later. Use code EARLYBIRD at checkout for $30 off until 26 June 2026.
