Member schools are invited to join us as we spend five days deepening your understanding of the BPL Design. This course is designed for Advisors who have been delivering the design in their school and need a refresh to energise their practice.
This workshop is designed to enhance the implementation of BPL and the IBPLC process.
The 5-day workshop will comprise of a deep dive into key elements of the Big Picture Learning, which will include the:
- Leaving to Learn
- Senior Project
- Autobiography
- Post-School Project
- Social Action Project
- Digital Portfolio
- Video Profile
- Other Qualifications
Ongoing elements of BPL - such as Learning Plans, Exhibitions, Internships, Narratives, and Learning Goals - will be referenced in how they both support and enrich the student work and learning.
For each element, we will consider:
- Core structure of each element
- Ways of developing them both for teachers and students
- How they link to work that students have done in previous years, and to work that they may wish to do in the future
- How each may manifest in a variety of ways to act as evidence of student achievement to support teacher judgments
- The roles of the student, the advisory teacher, and school leaders in supporting and challenging students.
By the end of the five days, participants will:
- Understand the key elements that make up the senior years
- Have explored different ways of working through them with students
- Have a clear plan for working with students to connect their experiences and work to their digital portfolio
- View the digital portfolio as the essential connection and collection point for students to show what they know and can do
- Understand that evidence can manifest and be presented in a variety of ways
- Appreciate that the rigours and high expectations that exist for all senior school students in BPL remain anchored strongly in interests connected to the real world.
