Today, Lance King is in ARIS to take the MYP & IBDP Students and Parents through a series of workshops focusing on the Approaches to Teaching and Learning Skills.

Mr Lance King worked on exam success and ATL Skills, teaching the students confidence in their learning journeys while taking exams. He taught them how to strategize for exam success by using a positive attitude, knowledge of study habits, reframing adversity, and managing their time effectively.

The discussion was equally engaging for the parents as it was enlightening. They learnt that the skills that the IB provides students, such as critical thinking, research methods and social skills, are just as important as any other subject or course they choose to study in college. The benefit of using these IB skills when they go to university or work is that they can be expressed through whatever path they choose to follow in their future.
