• emphasis on concepts and conceptual understanding as a hallmark of the programme and their ability to cross cultural , disciplinary and national boundaries still evident.
• absorption of reflection into the whole TL process.
• Proper working definition of concepts

• lack of clarity and discussion about the flexibility to teach more areas as single disciplinary where necessary:
• where does the flexibility stop? it could mean that while some schools will always see TD units of inquiry as the default position with TL done outside the POI only where necessary, some schools may see reason to do more disciplinary teaching outside the TD POI.
• are the more specifically disciplinary units to stand outside the POI (and so be a 7th or 8th or 9th U of I)  or be part of the POI? 
• At what point does a disciplinary unit actually become transdisciplinary? The example provided is actually transdisciplinary. Why would this need to be standalone and outside the POI. Many schools have central ideas, particularly in the  Science area that seem to be quite specific to, say Physics, but these units in their full documentation are actually transdisciplinary (or may be interdisciplinary)  
• some lack of clarity in the use of the terms, "concepts", "Conceptual understanding", "significant concepts in the early years". For example, the suggestion that "technology" is a concept.

• More discussion about how to explicitly connect the concepts, lines of inquiry LP, and ATLs  in a unit in both planning and in the teaching and learning to really make tight, strong, coherent units. 
• More discussion as to how the concepts can be used to enhance programme implementation across the whole learning community.....not just in the classroom with the learner.
