Creating Essential Agreements
Essential agreements are collaboratively developed agreements for how we will work together to achieve our mutual goals.
We use the PYP attitudes as the basis for our essential agreements within the classroom and school community.

For example….
Respect: We will ensure that we show our peers and teachers the proper respect by not talking when they are talking and by actively listening to ideas.
Enthusiasm: We will participate positively and energetically in discussions and activities.

The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is…
…an international curriculum for all schools…
…NOT a curriculum for international schools.
![Page 13: Making the PYP - Chadwick International · 2014-12-04 · 1. Ability to work in a team 2. Ability to make decisions and solve problems 3. Ability to plan, organize and prioritize](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050501/5f9376e591220772b35c9b53/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Brainstorm a list of words. Use your list of words to create a “wagon wheel” brainstorm map of what an internationally minded person is.
Draw 2 circles in the middle of your paper. From the inner circle divide your paper into sections for the number of people in your group. In the outer spaces, individually write down ideas about what it means to be internationally minded. In the centre write any common ideas that the group has. Using the common ideas ‘publish’ a statement about what it means to be internationally-minded and create a ‘visual’ representation.
What is an “International Curriculum”?

What does this mean?
The PYP is a concept driven curriculum

The PYP has identified 6 transdiciplinary themes which:
• Have significance for all students, all cultures • Offer students opportunities to explore knowledge which is
of genuine importance to them and the world they live in • Allows for transdisciplinary planning and teaching • Will be revisited throughout the students years of schooling
Approaches to teaching: Knowledge
What do we want students to know?

Each grade level (K-5) inquires into 6 units of study, called Units of Inquiry (UOI’s) set under the 6 organising themes.
Each UOI is structured around a CENTRAL IDEA (the “big idea”) and LINES OF INQUIRY (the specific aspects of the “big idea” that we will be learning about).
Units of Inquiry

What about traditional subjects?
The PYP is a TRANSDISCIPLINARY curriculum. This means that “traditional” subjects such as math, science, social studies & language are incorporated within the units of
inquiry. This gives students a richer and deeper understanding of and connection to the concepts being
addressed.

Assessment
Assessment needs to be differentiated to reflect the needs of the learner and the learning to be assessed.
![Page 37: Making the PYP - Chadwick International · 2014-12-04 · 1. Ability to work in a team 2. Ability to make decisions and solve problems 3. Ability to plan, organize and prioritize](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050501/5f9376e591220772b35c9b53/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Assessment is integral to all teaching and
learning

What the IB says…
The prime objective of assessment in the PYP is to provide feedback on the
learning process.

Assessment is an ongoing process…
Formative assessment checks student understanding before and during the unit. Summative assessment is done at the culmination of the teaching and learning process.
