5 Essential Elements of the IB - PYP Curriculum
In the PYP a balance is sought between acquistion of essential knowledge and skills, development of conceptual understanding, demonstration of positive attitudes, and taking of responsible action.
1. KNOWLEDGE
- Significant, relevant subject matter that we wish students to explore and know about.
2. CONCEPTS
- Powerful ideas that have relevance within and across the disciplines and which students must explore and re-explore in order to develop understanding.
3. SKILLS
- Those things the students need to be able to to do to succeed in a challenging world.
4. ATTITUDES
- Dispositions which are expressions of fundamental values, beliefs, and feeling about learning, the environment, and people.
5. ACTION
- Demonstrations of deeper learning in responsible behavior through positive action and service; a manifestation in practice on the other essential elements.
