PYP Enhancements: Transitioning to the Enhanced PYP – The Role of the Coordinator – Gioia Morasch

In Oct 2018 the International Baccalaureate will release the long-awaited Primary Years Programme (PYP) Principles into Practice. Elements of this new curriculum framework have slowly been released over the last year and it has ignited a buzz of critical conversations across the PYP community. In anticipation of the release of these Enhancements, Angeline Aow has interviewed a number of leading PYP educators from around the world about their thoughts, hopes, expectations and developing understanding of the upcoming enhancements. In this episode, Angeline interviews Gioia Morasch about the transition to the Enhanced PYP, the role of the PYP Coordinator and leadership. Gioia is the PYP Coordinator at Frankfurt International School.  She is a certified trainer from the Lynn Erickson Institute to lead concept based workshops and an international educational consultant for the International Baccalaureate Organization.
