Preparing for the MYP Visit

Here is the doc that Jennifer shared with us about preparing for the MYP visit. We'll review these recommendations and sample questions in the coming months, but it is worth working through these questions individually in the next couple of weeks.

Please continue to think about the needs for your classrooms and workspace and what updates you'd like to see for next year and capture ideas and requests on this doc.
