Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Pedagogy – School System, Educational and School Politics, grade: Summa Cum Laude, , course: Masters in Education (Advanced Teaching for Elementary, Middle and Secondary), language: English, abstract: What is the core ideology of why we become educators? The following essay hopes to answer questions posed by a reading set by Elliot Eisner. Focusing on the reading questions the ability for students to understand what they are learning, asking specific questions related to the content of their education. The curriculum ideally answers those questions, whether you are thinking of introducing a PYP (Primary Years Programme), MYP (Middle Years Programme), and IB DP (International Baccalaureate Diploma) with the intention for your students to become lifelong learners, equally responsible and taking ownership for their learning. The IB philosophy and curriculum clearly outline the different learner profiles focusing on students becoming natural inquirers, sharing ideas, and using their IB skills of being natural inquirers focusing on integrating cultural differences and teaching a student a level of respect, tolerance, and understanding.
