Wow, Shemo! I have really enjoyed reading your blog. I’m conducting a research project right now for my MEd dissertation about integrating and adapting the TC Workshops and Units of Study in PYP, and I can see you are doing a lot of that… wondering if I could contact you?
If so, just send me a quick email and I will explain for about the project!
