The workshop was bilingual and my expectation was to have two separate workshops for Turkish speakers and English speakers. The presenter spoke in English and everything was translated into Turkish for the non-English speakers, therefore the course length got doubled and put a big pressure on the presenter. I suggested to lengthen the periods by using the breaks but it was still not enough, we had theory more than implementing MYP in class. I wish it was only English. Although the presenter was very well qualified in his field ,Glen Fleury, unfortunately, I did not find the course as efficient as I expected. But I still obtained some MYP knowledge.

Professional Development Philosophy @ IICS
“the most important factor affecting student learning is the teacher….seemingly more can be done to improve education by improving the effectiveness of teachers than by any other single factor”
(Wright, S,P., Horn, S, P., Sanders, W, L. 1997)
It is a fundamental expectation of all IICS staff members that they are willing and prepared to learn; not only how to improve their own capacity to elicit exceptional learning but also how to contribute to the learning of colleagues and to the development of IICS as an exceptional educational institution.
