Dear UISG Community,

We’re excited to share the tremendous success of our recent parent workshop, “Dive into Inquiry (Pt.1)”! This interactive session brought the world of inquiry-based learning to life for our parents.

01. Workshop Highlights:

1. Hands-on Inquiry ExperienceParents didn’t just learn about inquiry – they experienced it! Through engaging activities, they got a taste of the inquiry strategies our students use daily.
2. Tower-Building ChallengeThe highlight of the day was our collaborative tower-building activity. Parents applied their Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills, working in teams to solve this fun engineering problem. It was a perfect demonstration of how inquiry sparks creativity and enhances problem-solving skills!
3. Multilingual ResourcesUnderstanding the diversity of our community, we provided IB materials in Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and English. This ensured all parents could engage fully with the content.
4. Dive into InquiryParticipants explored the essence of inquiry, its process, and the various types used in education. They discovered how inquiry fuels the learning journey at UISG.
5. Bridging School and HomeParents left equipped with practical inquiry strategies to use at home, strengthening the connection between school learning and family life.

02. Parent Feedback:

“The tower-building challenge was a real eye-opener! I now understand why my child comes home full of questions and enthusiasm. This workshop has given me new ways to engage with my child’s learning.” – UISG Parent

03. Looking Ahead:

This workshop is just the beginning ! We’re committed to offering more engaging sessions that bridge the gap between home and school learning. Together, we’re nurturing a community of curious, collaborative, and confident learners.

Stay tuned for announcements about our next parent workshop. We can’t wait to dive even deeper into the world of inquiry with you !
