The IB Continuum Student: Jiana Shah 2.0
Send us a textJiana Shah is back, two years after we first spoke. Then, she was a 14 year old 9th grader looking forward to the end of the MYP and the beginning of her Diploma Programme journey. Jiana began in the PYP as a kindergartner and is now a Diploma Programme junior well on her way to completing her entire school experience as an IB student. This makes her an excellent person to talk to about the rollercoaster experience as she navigates the challenges and accomplishments of the IB student. What I love about this conversation is how Jiana can follow the thread of experiences in the PYP and MYP as they continue to influence her activities today. Often, it is the non-curricular activities which have the greatest influence. We also spoke about all three areas of the DP core: the Theory of Knowledge, CAS, and the Extended Essay. Each has enriched her experience and she makes a good case for their placement as requirements of the Diploma. We have already made plans to continue the conversation and follow Jiana as she completes the Diploma and makes her way to university. She is certainly a great example to other young people and serves as an inspiration to students and adults looking forward to a future with more IB students like Jiana in the world.

Play-based Learning with Smriti Sajjanhar
Send us a textSmriti Sajjanhar from Genesis Global School shares her expertise in using Play-based Learning (PBL) with students in her PYP school. She shares great anecdotes telling how PBL has transformed the way students learn and even think about their learning. Teachers, students, and parents engage in open-ended explorations without preset objectives for the children. These sessions result in often surprising results - and that's the point. Kids learn things and go on adventures, inside and outside the classroom, that pay off in their subject area learning and in their sense of what they can accomplish when they get to pick their own play options.Smriti's LinkedIn pageLinks Smriti shared:https://humanperformance.ie/the-properties-of-play/https://caps.umich.edu/article/your-play-personalityhttps://www.facebook.com/share/r/Y8cBGdNonUoUMhiq/?mibextid=W40cHYEmail IB Matters: [email protected] @MattersIBIB Matters websiteMN Association of IB World Schools (MNIB) websiteDonate to IB MattersTo appear on the podcast or if you would like to sponsor the podcast, please contact us at the email above.
