PYP Planning

Recording the Planning

Planning is demonstrated through:

• The PYP Planner
• Language and numeracy plans
• A weekly planning overview that shows coverage of the whole curriculum

Implementing the Planning

Planning must:

• Differentiate for individual need of students
• Provide learning engagements that are purposeful and relevant
• Be linked to the Central Idea and/or objectives
• Use a range of assessment strategies
• Provide opportunities for reflection for students and teachers
• Use collaborative learning opportunities
• Promote and uses inquiry
• Involve EAs and other adults/students
• Integrate technology where appropriate
• Allow for the use of a range of resources

What informs our planning?

• PYP MIH
• National Strategy for Literacy and Numeracy
• IBO Scope and Sequence documents.

Understandings

• These documents are a basic requirement of Discovery College
• The documents will be working and dynamic so they could include amendments e.g. hand written notes, samples, point for future reflection
• The planning documents (excluding the PYP Planner) are generic to each year level
• We intend to move towards a school-wide electronic template for planning
