Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Sociology – Children and Youth, grade: First Class, University of the People (Faculty of Education), course: Masters in Education (Advanced Teaching for Elementary, Middle and Secondary), language: English, abstract: The following essay will discuss the importance of adolescent development within an international school setting. The norms within an International Baccalaureate school are given that teachers and educators are trained accordingly to the needs as outlined by the International Baccalaureate organisation, where a focus is placed on inquiry-based learning, assessments, student agency, and how to promote international mindedness, allowing students to learn through making connections within a global context while being knowledgeable, caring, risk-takers and open-minded.
The essay is divided into three sections, including personal experiences, how these link to theorists, and the educational implications. By focusing on the interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships between staff and colleagues, one can easily promote high levels of engagement and excellent communication channels by being professional and showing awareness for respect, dignity and appreciation for hard work, wherever your team might be in their learning experiences.
