I worked a few years ago with an International School in Bali that gained accreditation for the IB so I know a little about it.Bruce Hammondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07031065790535111400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438349.post-23901955130364733632010-12-15T14:19:52.595+13:002010-12-15T14:19:52.595+13:00The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Prog...The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme comes very close with inquiry learning embedded as a mjor pedagogical approach.

To do what they feel is right or to do what others say is right. Until principals gain the courage to face the future creative teachers will have a difficult life. I only know of a few such principals - and such principals must work together.One gruop I know of does just this. Most however work in isolation - strange in these days of cyber communication.Maybe they are waiting for a leader. If they are we will never realize the creative education our students deserve. Sadly most principals are not creative or do not know what it means to be so.Bruce Hammondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07031065790535111400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438349.post-87768487129907083402010-11-20T21:32:14.525+13:002010-11-20T21:32:14.525+13:00We realise... and we are also very busy complying!...We realise... and we are also very busy complying!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785329897294524869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438349.post-30398242733111882552010-11-20T13:22:57.591+13:002010-11-20T13:22:57.591+13:00You are right.Education, along with all other anti...You are right.Education, along with all other antiquated organisations with their genesis in an Industrail Era, are at a crossroads.<br /><br />Have teachers realized this, or are they too busy complying to notice?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
