Understanding the PYP is like learning a new language! Like any language, it may seem challenging to grasp and implement at first. We love helping teams to better understand the PYP! For this, we partnered with experienced educator, Cindy Blackburn to create a Visual Guide to the PYP. This visual guide provides actionable tools and resources that you can use in your classroom and with your collaborative teaching teams.

You'll learn:

How to simplify and plan for transdisciplinary learning

How to use the approaches to learning while designing units of inquiry and learning experiences

How to follow a simplified inquiry process

What are the go-to strategies that support inquiry in any unit

How to make the PYP happen in your classroom.

How to recognize and facilitate meaningful action

The all-in-one collaboration platform for educators.

Toddle streamlines planning, assessments, reports, projects, portfolios, and family communication - all from one place!

3 Thoughts or Ideas about PYP:

PYP is student-centered and promotes inquiry-based thinking and learning.

PYP encourages students to think about concepts and ideas from a more global perspective, and allows students to make connections between life at home, their experiences at school and their communities and globally.

PYP incorporates student-choice opportunities and allows students to explore their own individual interests and ideas. These opportunities for student-choice and student-led exploration allows students to take ownership of their learning.

2 Questions about PYP:

How can PYP be scaffolded to ensure that students with special needs are able to actively engage in the learning opportunities while having access to their necessary accommodations and supports that are outlined in their Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)?

How can PYP be integrated into special education services in order to ensure that students are able to participate in PYP while working towards mastering their specific IEP goals and objectives?

1 Metaphor or Simile for PYP:

PYP is like the structure of the Earth, both have layers. We, as individuals, represent the inner core, or the foundation, and as we grow and move through the layers, we establish a better understanding of relationships, communities, globally-based thinking, and interdependence.
