Wonder Week: When playful learning ideas and students take over middle school - a workshop by Tue Rabenhøj, Head of Middle School at the International School of Billund, Denmark.

Tue Rabenhøj teaches Individuals and Societies at the International School of Billund, Denmark. Tue is originally from Denmark, where he now lives after spending more than 20 years working with international education abroad, mainly in South-East Asia and Africa. Tue has been the Middle Years Coordinator (MYP) within the IB system for 20 years and is a trained workshop leader and music examiner with the IB MYP. Since joining ISB, Tue has been a Pedagogy of Play researcher, inquiring into the different paradoxes of playful learning in an academic context. How can playful learning harmonise with clearly defined learning goals and external grading criteria? How can we elevate sporadic, playful activities into a pedagogy that drives student learning and is at the heart of education? These are some of the questions that drive Tue forward in his quest to learn more about the role and power of play when facilitating learning in young adults and teenagers.

What have you always wondered about? What are you curious about? In this session, Tue will share how using tools and pedagogical thinking from Pedagogy of Play can spark project-oriented ways of working and help prepare students for their future.
