Check out our latest video on the Learner Profile Attribute of "Knowledgeable" as well as a reflection and advice from our fifth graders after their 2019 Exhibition Project.
Transdisciplinary theme:
How We Express Ourselves- An inquiry into the local and global issues. The process into identifying a need and the action that can affect the need or issue and how constant reflection and cooperation can help resolve problems.
Central Idea:
Humans can help solve worldwide issues locally and globally.
What lines of inquiry will define the scope of the inquiry into the central idea?
Key Concepts
• Causation – What is causing the problem?
• Perspective – Why is it a problem?
• Reflection – What can we do about it?
The I.B. Exhibition will be presented live in 2023.
The Exhibition is a requirement for our 5th grade students. Our students are required "to participate in a collaborative, transdisciplinary inquiry process that involves them in identifying, investigating and offering solutions to real-life issues or problems."
Our students will plan the exhibition, gather materials, record and reflect, and finally present the exhibition to the Jefferson community live. We will follow COVID-19 related restrictions.
Our students will be rigorously monitored academically throughout the process. Students will keep an individual learning journal. The teachers will keep anecdotal records of student work and performance. Other permanent records of the exhibition will include the I.B. planners, photographs, video, and website based documents.
