Gearing Up for MYP Projects: Community Project

Nadia Abdallah

< 1 min read

The MYP projects are an opportunity for students to engage in self-directed learning, exploring areas of interest through a cycle of inquiry, action and reflection. Through these explorations, students also demonstrate and strengthen their ATL skills. At this Toddle Talk, you’d get to understand your role as a project supervisor better. Take away actionable insights, and inquire into tools for fostering deep learning with projects.

Session: Community project with Nadia Abdallah

The community project is the culminating project for MYP students in Year 3. Students work together to take action and serve their communities, building crucial life skills in the process. Join education consultant, Nadia Abdallah, as she delves deeper into introducing the IB MYP community project to students, and promoting authentic learning.

In this session, you will:

Understand the assessment criteria and how you can support your students as a supervisor
Unpack the benefits of running community projects at your school
Collaboratively grade a community project
