About the Talk

Ever worry that you won’t be able to get all of the mandated curriculum taught and also teach the units of inquiry? If so, Anne and Lu help you understand how to navigate a curriculum using both concepts and skills and seamlessly integrate the curriculum requirements into PYP units of study without making forced links.

Questions We’ll Explore

  • How do we manage the requirements of the PYP units and a required curriculum?
  • Do we start with the units first or the curriculum standards first?
  • What are common misconceptions that educators have about planning through a conceptual lens and mapping curriculum?
  • What role do the school administration team and the PYP coordinator have in the curriculum mapping process?
Discover relevant, significant, engaging units of inquiry created by PYP educators from across the world!
