Teaching and Learning Through Inquiry with Kath Murdoch
Seoul Foreign School39 YEONHUI-RO 22-GILSeodaemun GuSeoul,South KoreaIn this practical workshop, participants have the opportunity to clarify their understanding of what it really means to use an inquiry based approach to teaching and learning in the primary / elementary classroom. Over two interactive days, teachers examine the essential elements of inquiry and how these elements can be 'brought to life' through quality planning, use of materials, choice of teaching strategies and interactions with students. Participants explore the conditions that best 'set the scene' for productive inquiry learning and the way in which we can be 'inquiring teachers' throughout our classroom program as well as within the context of inquiry-based 'units of work.' In addition to demonstrating many useful teaching strategies for the inquiring classroom, Kath takes teachers through her widely-used model for planning and teaching inquiry and shows how it can be adapted to builds students' understandings and interdisciplinary skills - particularly in the areas of thinking, collaboration, self management, research and communication. Practical examples from a wide range of settings are shared with teachers and they also have the opportunity to frame up plans to use back in their classroom.

Seoul Foreign School is delighted to host our first annual “Seoul of a Leader” Leadership Conference for current and aspiring school leaders in education! The Seoul of A Leader Conference will be held on Friday, September 27 at Seoul Foreign School. The three main goals of this conference are to connect school leaders, share best practice, and inspire future leaders as we move forward with the common goal of supporting all students in their academic, social, and emotional learning journey.
We are pleased to announce our Keynote speaker, Mr. Bob Bordone. Bob Bordone is the Thaddeus R. Beal Clinical Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and the founder of the Harvard Law School Negotiation and Mediation Clinical Program. Mr. Bordone will be speaking about Conflict Resolution as a 21st Century Leadership Skill. Our hope is that this conference will be a time where colleagues share their knowledge and practice with one another. We are seeking for a number of educational leaders here in Seoul to present and share on a topic of their choice. We are particularly interested in Women in leadership and plan on hosting a panel discussion as part of the conference.
