PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SECTION
1. Developing a professional learning community at WM
2. Mentoring the Personal Project

3. PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SECTION (I) A discussion: Developing a professional learning community at WM

4. PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SECTION (II) Your role as a mentor for a student doing a Personal Project Every WM teacher is the mentor of one student (Rationale: this is about building professional capacity in the MYP; all staff who claim to be IB MYP teachers need to know what the Personal Project is about.) 2. Every mentor has a ‘back-up’ mentor – an experienced Personal Project coordinator at WM. (Rationale: this is about succession planning and ensuring students feel they are heard and supported– in many cases the back up mentor had been on their ‘wish list’ for a mentor.)
