Our biggest challenge at AIS is to empower our learners to grow as open-minded, principled and knowledgeable inquirers, preparing them to contribute positively to their country and serve the larger community; hence, becoming global citizens. Our distinctive academic programme and approaches to teaching and learning enable our students to become creative and critical thinkers, risk takers, problem solvers and be responsible for their own learning. At AIS, we continue to attach great importance to inquiry, action and reflection; our learners reflect on their leaning, their behavior and their actions. Then they try their best to learn from all experiences and take action to improve their way of thinking and learning in order to save our planet. Practicing thinking and research skills, using appropriate communication skills and possessing self-management skills ensure high academic achievement for all students and help them become independent lifelong learners. We believe that parents are our partners in achieving our goals in educating the children and preparing them to make a positive impact and make the world a better place for everyone. All the above explains and supports our motto at AIS: We prepare children for the real world. Janette Wakileh 3 School Principal Mission Statement ASAMIAH International School (AIS) aims to develop inquiring, self- confident, independent, productive, respectful and caring lifelong learners. Hence, AIS is committed to the achievement of academic excellence through providing our learners with high quality education. Our school ensures that all our learners grow intellectually, emotionally and physically in a creative, loving and respectful environment by acknowledging the rights and responsibilities of each learner. ASAMIAH International School strives to develop international-minded learners whilst instilling in them a sense of pride and belonging to their country and their cultural heritage. AIS prepares students to meet their future with confidence and contribute positively to their local and global society by providing all support needed to help learners take meaningful and intentional action. 4 Rationale Behind Logo Yellow: Joy and energy Yellow is the color of sunshine. It produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, activates memory, and encourages communication . Yellow shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness ; it carries the promise of a positive future . Yellow will advance from surrounding colors and instill optimism and energy, as well as spark creative thoughts. Grey: Classical and Powerful An authoritative color that is timeless, practical and solid, grey is familiar, habitual, and comfortable to many people; the perfect meaning of balance. Meaning intellect, knowledge, and wisdom; it indicates security, reliability, modesty, intelligence and maturity. Navy Blue: Graceful and Peaceful A natural color from the blue sky, blue conveys importance and confidence without being somber or sinister. It is associated with intelligence, stability, unity and conservatism. The dark shade of blue conveys trust and truthfulness; it leads to a conservative but sophisticated look. 5 The Quill Going back to the start of literacy, this logo symbolizes the beginning of writing. Combining a historical writing instrument, with modern fonts and fresh colors produces the strong-established educational system of AIS alongside its modern approach to teaching. It all starts with the quill and could go anywhere! 6 AIS KG Character Building AIS teaching and learning is deeply connected and rooted in the IB program. All staff at AIS is required to mirror the IB Learner Profile traits through their daily interactions with students, parents and the school community at large. Thus, we lead by example, helping the children better acquire desired personality outcomes. 7 Bilingual Teaching System Our AIS KG bilingual system allows two different language teachers to teach in one class for a whole day. This ensures full exposure to both languages and access to effective learning which help students reach their potential and progress to higher education. In the process, the learners themselves gain linguistic skills from learning English language in addition to classical Arabic. Play-Based Learning At AIS, fun is a key feature in our learning process. Research has explored that play-based learning encourages language skills, supports pre-literacy skills, develops social and emotional skills and fosters creativity and imagination. Perhaps one of the hardest aspects about play-based learning is that it is not a manual you can find on a bookshelf. Instead, our play- based curriculum is developed in the minds of our students and our teachers. We let creativity, ingenuity, and our interests be our guide. Messy Exploration Messy play contributes enormously to the development of a child’s cognitive and creative abilities. It allows a child to explore their senses by providing the opportunity to pour, mix, squeeze and squelch materials not normally available to them. Also, not having to produce something in particular, leaves a child free to explore all sorts of possibilities. It taps into a child’s curiosity about the world around them and feeds their irresistible urge to try new things and experiment. Our learners are huge fans of our Messy Exploration time and the best part is that we take care of the mess! 8 Arts At AIS school is so much more than reading, writing and Mathematics. We know that art provides a way for children to discover that they can make a contribution; it empowers them and raises their self-esteem. Art lets children put their own individual stamp on what they are good at. Music stimulates our learners’ brains, Drama teaches emotions and problem solving while visual arts and craft with the homeroom teachers develop fine motor skills and creativity. Most importantly, it is super fun! 9 After School Clubs It is no secret that after-school activities do wonders for a child’s development. They are linked to improving social skills, overall coordination, sense-of-self and relationships with adults other than parents. Our AIS KG after-school programs and activities include basketball, taekwondo, Zumba, art and much more. They give our little ones a chance to be themselves, free of the structure they face at school. It is important for them to have time to be creative, get moving and do something they enjoy. Media Centers Our KG has two media centers that offer enriching reading programs in addition to research opportunities in both English and Arabic Languages. Both centers are well stocked with English and Arabic resources and books, Interactive white boards and IPad. Our children visit these media centers regularly where individual and small group reading opportunities, including reading assessments continuously take place to promote open-ended literacy learning skills. In addition to linking reading with the units of inquiry, our reading program helps develop children’s word recognition and language comprehension skills in both Arabic and English. Not to mention the development of their research skills at a young age. Our children, through reading different books, will practice their phonic knowledge and reading skills as well as enhance prediction, questioning and imagining. Our media centers/libraries are also systematically visited by our children to borrow books to read at home. Events AIS KG specializes in a variety of events tailored for our learners which nourishes their mind. Adding events as a part of the yearly calendar works well for reinforcing elements pertaining to growth and development. Several events are also lined up to improve our learners’ awareness. As they partake in the events and activities, they enhance their recognition abilities along with their grasping skills. Our events can be combined with invites to parent volunteers which adds more fun and energy to the learning process. 10 AIS Primary School PYP Curriculum: AIS is an IBPYP authorized school since 2016 to deliver the IB Primary Years Programme, which provides a framework through which teachers can structure delivery of curriculum in a meaningful, inquiry-based and consistent approach. We live by and up to all the attributes of the IB Learner Profile to develop students who are inquirers, knowledgeable, confident, caring and internationally minded. Our long-term goal is to develop lifelong learners who possess strong values and ethics and who are empowered to make a difference. While our students are engaged in this programme, they are given ongoing opportunities to develop a variety of qualities and skills through their inquiries. Students are actively engaged in their inquiries and make meaningful connections from their learning to the world around them. Further to this, as children progress through their years in the programme, they also begin to see that they are able to contribute to their school and country on many levels and take action to make change. Our PYP is guided by six Units of Inquiry that provide the framework for exploration

  • With World Growing Smaller, IB Gets Big
    With World Growing Smaller, IB Gets Big Students take part in a team-building exercise called “Poly Bones” in an 8th grade physical education class at South St. Paul Junior High School. — Scott Cohen for Education Week Amid heightened concern about preparing students for a global economy, the academically demanding International Baccalaureate program is catching on fast in U.S. schools. By Scott J. Cech South St. Paul, Minn. In a large black-and-white photograph hanging in Jane Stassen’s office, 1930s-era construction workers perch on a thin steel beam some 70 stories above New York City, precarious but undaunted as they read newspapers and eat lunch on a break. It’s no accident that Ms. Stassen, the director of curriculum and instruction for the 3,200-student South St. Paul school district, keeps this image on view above her desk. She sees a parallel to the cash-poor district’s plan to become what would apparently be the first public school system in the nation to offer the demanding International Baccalaureate program to all its students by next fall. “We’re going confidently out on a limb,” Ms. Stassen explained. As to why a small community best known for its long-gone meat-packing plants would choose to put itself in the vanguard of education reform, district officials say the driving force was pretty cut and dried: the need to prepare students to compete for 21st-century jobs. “What we want is for all our kids to pursue postsecondary [education],” Ms. Stassen said. “In order to prepare them for that, we need to offer them rigorous, challenging academic experiences, and that’s basically what [IB] is all about.

  • East Is East and West Is West George Walker
    IB position paper East is East and West is West George Walker © International Baccalaureate Organization 2010 1 InternationalLanguage A teacher Baccalaureate support materi Organizational: Example interim 2010 objectives Introduction to IB position papers This paper is part of a series of papers commissioned by the IB and written by IB practitioners. Each paper addresses a topic or issue related to the IB’s philosophy or its educational practices. Other papers in the series Hare, J. July 2010. Holistic education: An interpretation for teachers in the IB programmes. Marshman, R. July 2010. Concurrency of learning in the IB Diploma Programme and Middle Years Programme. 2 East is East and West is West What I object to is the artificial arrangement by which this foreign education tends to occupy all the space of our national mind and thus kills, or hampers, the great opportunity for the creation of new thought by a new combination of truths. (Rabindranath Tagore 1961: 222) Abstract This position paper addresses the long-standing criticism that the International Baccalaureate (IB) is too closely associated with Western values and, despite its title, does not enable students to see the world from a truly international perspective. Considering evidence from different authorities, it analyses the IB learner profile and asks how appropriate it is for the cultures of East Asia. The paper concludes that the learner profile does indeed reflect the strong Western humanist foundations of the IB, but accepts that the organization’s successful growth (not least in its Asia- Pacific region) makes sudden change unlikely and undesirable. Instead, it recommends that the learner profile be reviewed regularly and used as a focus for internal debate on this issue.

IB is one of the best choices I’ve ever made – by far!” INTERNATIONAL MINDEDNESS “The IBO encourages international mindedness in IB students who must firstly develop an understanding of their own cultural and national identity” George Walker Former CEO of the International Baccalaureate Organisation 2 KG is a fantastic place with lots of room for everybody. 3 4 What is IB?

  • Global Citizenship Education in Practice: an Exploration of Teachers in the United World Colleges
    Global Citizenship Education in Practice: An Exploration of Teachers in the United World Colleges Andrew Mahlstedt Monograph International Comparative Education School of Education Stanford University August 2003 i Abstract Increasing globalization calls for new forms to education to respond to emerging concepts of global citizenship. This study explores the question of whether, and if so how, education for the values of global citizenship is possible. Building a definition of global citizenship education from the growing literature, and supplementing these ideas with world society theory and curriculum theory, I examine one example of global citizenship education in practice – the United World Colleges (UWCs). Through document analysis, questionnaires, and interviews, I detail the pedagogical processes by which teachers at the UWCs seek to educate students toward the values of global citizenship, in comparison with theories from the literature. I conclude that the methods used by UWC teachers do indeed work within the theories detailed in the literature, and create a snapshot of global citizenship education in practice. iii Acknowledgements Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me along the way to the completion of this monograph. It is the culmination, in part, of this academic year at Stanford; in part as well though, it is the culmination of a deeply rooted passion for exploring and expanding global citizenship education that began in a yak-dung filled tea house in Namche Bazaar, Nepal, in November, 2000. Thanks to the earth that nurtured the food that fed the yaks that provided the dung for the smoky air of that tea house that germinated a passion that has become a path.
