Tao Wei twei@isf.edu.hk I am from the Independent School Foundation Academy in Hong Kong. However this is my first year teaching here as my fourth international schools served. The most recent duty was DP math/physics in the American School of Milan (Italy) for the past 5 years. MYP was a distant memory rather than DP, yet the freedom and creativity part of it always amazes me and i do look forward to gaining fresh knowledge and experience from everyone here in this workshop.
