I have added an MYP Approaches to Learning Framework here

This document below has put the framework into tables which enable teachers to see what is expected for each cluster. Each framework can be used by teachers and departments help them plan activities, and units which allow students to apply the skills needed to become an ‘expert’ in each approach. A concept-driven curriculum that uses ATL skills effectively enables all students to become stronger, more self-regulated learners.

The framework also gives guidance to teachers on how to assess each ATL, as well as helping student’s self-assess themselves.

Subscribe to download comprehensive Student Profiles for the MYP and DP. Each profile gives a full picture of the students’ academic history and preferred way of learning. The also include a language profile, educational history and parent contact information. The DP profile includes university application information. Full information on what is included in each download can be found by clicking the following links: MYP DP

In order to help teachers having to teach to safe distancing guidelines, I have adapted my “Inquiry Based Teaching Activities Booklet”. The new edition gives advice on how to modify the classroom activities. You can find it for free here.
