REVIEWING UNIT PLANNERS
The PYP promotes a balance between the acquisition of essential knowledge
and skills, development of conceptual understanding, demonstration of
positive attitudes, and taking of responsible action. Students are invited to
inquire into, and learn about, globally significant issues in the context of units of
inquiry, each of which addresses a central idea relevant to a particular
transdisciplinary theme with lines of inquiry that provide the opportunities for
students to explore the scope of the central idea for each unit. These units
collectively constitute the schools programme of inquiry. (MTPYPH page 12)
The programme of inquiry and the subject scope and sequences are
components of the curriculum, which when used together, define a coherent
curriculum. The PYP unit planner is the instrument designed to synthesize the 5
essential elements and strengthen the connections between the written,
taught and assessed curriculum.
