What is the PYP Exhibition? In their final year of elementary school , PYP students take on a substantial, cross-curricular, collaborative project called the Exhibition. In teams of 3, 4 or 5, students create their own unit of inquiry based on a subject that they are passionate about. They create the central idea, the lines of inquiry, they use all attitudes and attributes of the learner profile to showcase what they have learned in this process, and in their years of experience in the PYP.
Teaching is very demanding work. Teachers have an increasing amount of responsibility in an ever-changing world. Hence, professionals in the field must seek and select the best research-based practices in order to effectively reach and teach all students. For example, with a growing to-do list, some teachers may believe they do not need to provide for gifted students, as they will no doubt succeed academically. In addition, it is important to remember that at the moment, there is no legislation protecting gifted students in Quebec education. However, many educators know it is essential to nourish and challenge our gifted and talented students, yet lack the knowledge or time to find cost-efficient and easy-to-implement strategies to empower teachers with. Therefore, the real challenge is to find a way to meet the needs of gifted and talented students, spread this information to teachers, all without adding to a teacher’s workload.
