Thanks, Cameron, for sharing a little more about your interests and experiences. Yes...the IB complements middle school practices. Interesting, though, I don't believe that NMSA has done any writing or research on that. Would you be interested in writing a blog post or starting a discussion about IB and middle school (with a focus on STEM) here on MSP2?? ; - )
WELCOME! It is great to have a participant from Taiwan!! I have a friend who teaches ESL at Christ College in Taipei and a former student who teaches in Taichung, Taiwan.
In addition to being part of the math group, you might also enjoy being part of the group for Integrating Technologies.
Again, Welcome! I look forward to hearing more about education in Taiwan.
Your varied responsibilities at your school will provide this community with a variety of perspectives. We are glad you joined us!

Thanks, Cameron. It's good to know that our notice in MSJ has had an impact! I'd love to know about your teaching experience and situations. Are you at an American school? How long will you be in Taiwan? How long were you in China? And where, there? Do you have any idea how MSP2 can be of assistance to you?

Welcome, Cameron!
I think you're the first member here on MSP2 who is in Taiwan. There is a small but growing international group that includes folks from Canada, Columbia, Australia, Malaysia, and perhaps another 4 or 5 countries.
I'm curious what print publication pointed you in the direction of MSP2. Would you be willing to share?
This community is growing daily. It's a community rich in resources--human and digital. With your experience and in your role as IT support person and media specialist, you have a great deal of expertise that can benefit this community. I hope you will be willing to do so!
Again, welcome.
