The Five Essential Elements of PYP
These are knowledge, concepts, skills, attitudes & action.
Knowledge
Significant, relevant content that we wish the students to explore and know about, taking into consideration their prior experience and understanding.
* How We Organise Ourselves
* How the World Works
* Where We Are in Place and Time
* How We Express Ourselves
* Who We Are
* Sharing the Planet
Concepts
Powerful ideas that are trans-disciplinary (can relate to math, language, science, history, music, art, PE...) that students must explore in order to develop in-depth understanding.
* Form - What is it like?
* Function - How does it work?
* Causation - Why is it like it is?
* Change - How is it changing?
* Connection - How is it connected?
* Perspective - What are the points of view?
* Responsibility - What is our responsibility?
* Reflection - How do we know?
Skills
Those capabilities that the students need to demonstrate to succeed in a changing, challenging world.
* Thinking ex. analysis, evaluation
* Research ex. formulating questions, interpreting data
* Communication ex. presenting, writing
* Social ex. group decision making, resolving conflict
* Self-Management ex. time management, organisation
