S1, E8: Overarching Reflection in Practice with Maurissa Horne - International Curriculum Specialist Series - IMYC

Welcome to the International Curriculum Specialist Series where Fieldwork Education interviews both experts and educators on how best to improve our learning.

In our eighth episode, Lee Hendricks, Fieldwork Education's International Curriculum Manager for the Middle Years, interviews teacher and IMYC coordinator Maurissa Horne at Precious Treasures International School in Turks and Caicos. Maurissa talks about the necessity of constant reflection and how it should be continuous both in the Research, Record, and Reflect mini-cycle to link subject tasks in the Process to Facilitate Learning along with the Overarching Reflection for each Big Idea. Reflection may not always come easy for students, as Maurissa points out, but with the right guidance, they can discover how concepts and ideas interlink, find personal meaning, and be agents in their own learning.

The International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) has been developed by the International Curriculum Association (ICA).
