There are also many others that arise based on what is happening globally, nationally and in our community, as well as events that are a result of students inspired into taking action.
Become part of our
PYP Community of Experts
Parents and community members can make learning engaging and more exciting by becoming a Community Expert.
Community Experts share with students their knowledge and skills related to their hobbies, work, roles, personal stories or culture.
When interested participants join, we collect the areas of expertise they are able to share and display it on our 'Community Experts Wall'. When planning for PYP Units of Inquiry, teachers may contact experts relevant to the learning to visit for a small presentation, visit to be interviewed by students, answer student questions via email or any other format suitable to the learning.
