The IB Approaches to Learning are 5 interrelated skills aimed to support children of all ages to become self-regulated learners who know how to ask meaningful questions, set effective goals, and pursue their aspirations with the determination to achieve them. We can foster and support the development of these skills by providing opportunities through authentic learning experiences. With this lens, we created at-home challenges for children to build Approaches to Learning skills by exploring diverse domains.
In this collection, children explore everything from space to morse code and mindfulness to music, from storytelling to machines and yoga to journalism – we’ve got opportunities for everything!
