Moving To Planning
The central idea provides a starting point and continues to be the context and the motivation from which the teaching team plans, shares and reflects with students collaboratively.
The planner is a living illustration of ongoing collaboration to facilitate transdisciplinary thinking and learning.
Teachers co-construct a unit of inquiry with students.
Learning goals are articulated using the backward design approach at the start of the unit, and are adjusted based on ongoing monitoring and documenting of student questions, theories, knowledge and skills development.
Subject knowledge is integrated as the instrument of the learning process from which students draw to explore the central idea and related lines of inquiry.
The schedule flexibly accommodates the inquiry based on the context and relevance of subject integration, interests and events at the time.
Lines of inquiry or activities focus on enduring concepts that span subjects, for example, perspective, connection, change, adaptation, transformation, interdependence, and so on.
The collaborative teaching team, or a subset of the teaching team, meets, exchanges formal and informal observations in person or through planning documentations throughout the inquiry process.
Students have opportunities to work with peers based on interests, skills, knowledge, personal preference and other criteria.

“Beyond the four pillars”,
the need for coherence in curriculum design
schools as learning communities
a collaborative, discovery approach to issues-based learning
an active, participatory approach promoting critical thinking.
Characteristics of the PYP framework
all three pillars of the PYP curriculum framework—learner, learning and teaching and the learning community.
Evidence of transdisciplinary learning
student-initiated questions starting point of an inquiry to explore the central idea,
real-world contexts,
possibilities for personal and collective integration of subject knowledge
opportunities to connect to the theme under investigation
shared conceptual understandings
Characteristics of the PYP framework
all three pillars of the PYP curriculum framework—learner, learning and teaching and the learning community.
