The three programmes span the years of kindergarten to pre-university. The programmes can be offered individually or as a continuum.
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) for pupils aged 3 to 12.The Middle Years Programme (MYP) for students aged 11 to 16. The Diploma Programme for students aged 16 to 19.
IBO is a non-profit organization that has been in existence since 1968.
It was established to provide students with a balanced education, to facilitate geographic and cultural mobility and to promote international understanding
BURNING Questions!Using the Post It notes on the table please take a moment to write down 1 or 2 “Burning Questions "you have about the IBO or about the PYP and also 1 or 2 things you already know about the programme. If these questions are not answered during our session we will have a Q&A at the end.
At PresentAt PresentThere are over 969 authorized PYP schools worldwide
274 of these are in the Asia-Pacific region
These numbers are constantly changing
Philosophy of the PYPPhilosophy of the PYPThe philosophy behind the PYP can be
examined in two parts.Firstly, the mission statement of the IBO
expresses the IBO’s overall purpose as an organization promoting and developing programmes of international education.
Secondly, there is a set of beliefs and values which the IBO call “International Mindedness”
– let’s look at this first!

An International PersonAn International PersonFrom the PYP’s
perspective an international person is a person with the attributes and dispositions described in the learner profile.
Standard A4:
The school develops and promotes international mindedness and all attributes of the IB learner profile across the school community.
IBO Mission Statement – can you identify the learner profile in
it?The International Baccalaureate Organization aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the IBO works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
The IBO Mission Statement + The Learner Profile makes up the philosophy which drives
the PYP.
KJS Mission Statement“Success for every child”
At KJS we create a safe, supportive and caring environment where beliefs and values reflect a
respect of cultural diversity. We motivate individuals to become lifelong
learners who are empowered to take action to make a positive difference in the world.
The school community works together to develop global citizens with a sense of social awareness and
responsibility through an engaging, relevant and challenging curriculum.
To what extent does the KJS Vision and Mission statement assist us in developing our students as
being ‘internationally minded’? Have a think!
So...what else is the ‘PYP’?So...what else is the ‘PYP’? The PYP is NOT a subject!
It is not a prescribed curriculum.
Designed for ages 3 to 12.
Designed to foster the development of the whole child.
Organized around six transdisciplinary themes of global significance intended to help children engage with their world and the world around them.
Transdisciplinary means that it transcends the disciplines. All teachers in a PYP school are PYP teachers. All teachers in a PYP school use the PYP philosophy, beliefs and values in their teaching.
Students will inquire, make connections, develop conceptual understanding, think critically, work collaboratively, consider multiple perspectives, construct meaning, reflect, take action.

Programme of
Inquiry
What is inquiry? What is inquiry? 什麼是探究什麼是探究 ??
“Inquiry is an approach to learning that involves a process of exploring the natural or material world, that leads to asking questions and making discoveries in the search for new understandings.”
探究是一種學習模式 , 是探索自然和物質世界的過程。它引領我們發問和發現 , 讓我們對這個世界有新的認知和了解。
(Exploratorium Institute for Inquiry)
Teacher Students
The teacher has all of the knowledge. The students role is to listen and remember all of the facts and figures the teacher gives them.
What was you most significant
learning moment?Think about the following questions as
well:How did you develop the interest?What experience led to this understanding?What resources did you use for your learning?How did you know that you really
knew/understood?
Think, pair, share!
End of session reflection...
“The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think than what to think – rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves than to load the memory with the thoughts of others”
James Beattie
