Alison Yang - MYP Coordinator - Hong Kong

The Leading, Language and Literature Podcast

In this episode, I’m talking to Alison Yang. Alison is MYP coordinator here in Hong Kong and prolific blogger of all things MYP at https://alisonyang.com. It was due to this prodigious output that I became aware of Alison’s work and reached out with a few questions that I have always harboured about the framework in the hope that I can improve these aspects of my practice.

We discuss:

• How to support students in posing questions about new material or topics
• The best ways to support teachers who are new to teaching with inquiry
• Offering students choice with a structured framework
• How data is collected within the MYP currently
• And finally, one thing that Alison would like to see changed in the next iteration of the course

Thanks again to Alison for this chat which proved to be one of the most productive and thought provoking conversations I’ve had about the MYp and in such a short amount of time! If you don’t already, I would encourage you to follow Alison on the likes of LinkedIn to gain regular insights on what can be a challenging yet rewarding curriculum.
