In the basis of international didactics it seems the International Baccalaureate has risen to the come about inwards damage of reputation. Getting into the "top schools" tin live on a nightmare if you lot exercise non get got sense inwards i of the IBs iii programs. I am writing this to a greater extent than for myself to human face dorsum upon together with every bit a reflection (of my get-go twelvemonth teaching inwards the IB) than for the public, but mortal wanting to intermission into the organization may discovery it useful. I get got key words inwards italics, which could live on dropped inwards at an interview!
First of all, the to a greater extent than good established IB schools that I applied for were non fifty-fifty considering applicants unless they had PYP experience. PYP stands for The Primary Years Program, it goes from Early Childhood (3 years) to Year 6. For a schoolhouse to live on authorised yesteryear the IB to deliver the PYP, all teachers who learn the programme must get got Category 1 preparation inwards a course of instruction called, "Making the PYP Happen inwards the Classroom". If you lot get got done this preparation together with know simply about of the IB lingo, you lot volition live on at an payoff inwards an interview. The course of instruction costs nearly 760 Singapore dollars together with may live on found here.
I get got to say, the PYP is incredible. They get got taken the best bits of didactics together with packaged it inwards a actually proficient bundle to sell to schools. Constructivism, Understanding yesteryear Design, Concept based Education and Inquiry are simply about of the basic edifice blocks of the program. You learn 6 transdisciplinary themes a year. This is real dissimilar from traditional systems where the subjects are separate. In the PYP, the specialist teachers excogitation their lessons amongst the homeroom teachers thence the students sense continuity throughout the program. Most of the Mathematics together with Literacy is taught inwards a unit of measurement together with all of the Social Studies together with Science is inwards there. The residual of the Math together with Literacy is taught every bit stand-alone.
There are v principal parts to the PYP: knowledge, concepts, skills, attitudes and action.
Knowledge - This is the 6 transdisciplinary themes together with the subjects that are taught. Examples of the themes are, "Who nosotros are", which has a Social Studies focus, or "How nosotros limited ourselves", which has an Arts focus. PE is called PSPE (Personal, Social together with Physical Education) together with could live on transdisciplinary, planned together with taught amongst the homeroom teacher, or stand-alone where the PE instructor would exercise a unit of measurement alone.
Concepts - The concepts are oftentimes referred to every bit lenses inwards the IB programs. We human face at the query or lessons through them. Some of them include: change, perspective or reflection. This aspect of the programme is epic! I am notwithstanding a flake confused betwixt these concepts together with the concepts inwards the key ideas. After reading the run of Lynn Erikson, I learned that a key thought or enduring agreement is made upwards of ii concepts inwards a relationship. It may live on a generalisation or a principle. I volition non acquire into this yet, until I fully empathize it myself.
Skills - There are v transdisciplinary skills which I believe are going to live on called approaches to learning (ATLs) inwards the upcoming PYP update. They are: social skills, research skills, self-management skills, thinking skills together with communication skills. These are thence broken downwardly farther together with should live on carefully planned into the curriculum. You may discovery all of this information inwards the book, Making the PYP Happen. Just Google it together with you lot volition discovery it easily.
Attitudes - There are 12 attitudes such every bit empathy, independence together with inventiveness that nosotros attempt to develop inwards the students. Another related together with hugely of import business office of all the IB programs is international mindedness. This is summed upwards inwards the IB mission controversy together with inwards the ten learner profile attributes. Some of these are: caring, thinker together with risk-taker.
Action - Finally, what is yesteryear far the best business office of the programme inwards my opinion, students are expected to accept activity afterwards they get got learned. This tin live on anything from turning off lights to campaigning for students to halt wasting food. Some awesome examples may live on found on a spider web log called, "Sharing the PYP".

So to amount upwards my get-go year, I believe I get got simply scratched the surface of the possibilities amongst the PYP. My background inwards UbD together with query from teaching the Queensland curriculum has actually stood to me, but I get got a lot to learn. If you lot desire to larn to a greater extent than nearly the PYP quickly, follow Twitter. This has been an incredible twelvemonth of learning for me!
