The Taught Curriculum

It is the written curriculum in action It is implemented in an inquiry process Inquiry is the process initiated by the students or the

teacher that moves the students from their current level of understanding to a new and deeper level of understanding

It is planned collaboratively with a bubble planner

What does inquiry look like?

experimenting and playing with possibilities making connections between previous learning

and current learning making predictions and acting purposefully to

see what happens collecting data and reporting findings clarifying existing ideas and reappraising

perceptions of events deepening understanding through the

application of a concept making and testing theories researching and seeking information taking and defending a position solving problems in a variety of ways

The Implication in planning, teaching and assessing

The Implication in planning, teaching and assessing

A PYP classroom is a lively place, characterized by collaborative and purposeful activity.

It is also a reflective place, where thoughtful consideration of issues, problems and successes is

valued highly.

Above all, and in summary, a PYP classroom is an intelligent place. It is a place in which the easy

option is seldom sought and where the expectations are high. It is an environment in

which learning knows no limits.

Learning Language in IB PYP

Overview

Beliefs about Language Learning

The Structure of Language Scope & Sequence

How to Use Language Scope & Sequence

PYP beliefs about learning language

The learning process simultaneously involves learning language, learning about language and learning through language

Languages are not learned as isolated skill sets. Rather, it is learned within meaningful contexts

The development of mother tongue is significant for all learners

Acquisition of more than one language enriches personal development and helps facilitate international-mindedness

Language provides a vehicle for inquiry

The structure of the PYP language scope and sequence

the scope and sequence document presents a set of developmental continuums that are designed as diagnostic tools to assist teachers in planning language learning experiences for students, and in monitoring students’ development throughout the primary years.

Rather than categorized by age, the continuums are organized into some phases (considering the starting point)
