WAB's FLoW21 Teaching and Instruction Committee has been working in smaller subgroups since November exploring four specific targets:

• Target 11 – Real world, connected practical learning: An example might be calculating compound interest on a mortgage, or using air resistance models to design and build a radio-controlled car.)
• Target 13 – Individualized instruction and teaching: Students need instruction when they are ready for it. Delivering instruction before or after they are ready produces significantly reduces learning. Individualized instruction means that students move on when they are ready, this might mean they can move quicker or more slowly than their peers.
• Target 17 – Collaborative teacher planning: Teachers collaborate when planning learning, both between and within subject areas.
• Target 19 – Team teaching: Teachers work in teams to support students' learning.

The subgroups contain a mixture of members from the Elementary, Middle and High School sections who are exploring implementation in the International Baccalaureate Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes (PYP, MYP and DP), evaluating current research on effective models, looking at model schools from around the world, and even piloting particular approaches in their own classrooms.

In upcoming meetings, subcommittee members will share their individual findings as the committee begins working towards drafting its FLoW21 implementation fiats to present in May.
