Abstract: Flexible scheduling, except in the lower grades, provides time for guidance and collaboration with teachers, a necessary component for integrating information literacy into the IB curriculum, and for teaching the ethical use of resources, information technologies, and reading comprehension. With the support and structure of the PYP and the inquiry model, the difficulties of serving a transient population and a large ESL population are lessened as our dedicated team of teachers continues to struggle with, align, and adapt student inquiries so that there is a depth of knowledge and meaningful learning.
