The Transdisciplinary Elements of the

PYP

The PYP Curriculum Framework

The learner: describes the outcomes for individual students and the outcomes they seek for themselves (what is learning?)

Learning and teaching: articulates the distinctive features of

learning and teaching (how best to support learners?)

The learning community: emphasizes the importance of the

social outcomes of learning and the role that IB communities play in achieving these outcomes (who

facilitates learning and teaching?)

A Transdisciplinary Curriculum Framework

The PYP curriculum framework offers students with the opportunity

to engage in transdisciplinary learning which transcends the

traditional approaches through the design of learning practices which interconnect all subject areas. By coordinating learning ‘between, across and beyond’ boundaries,

students are provided with an avenue to engage in in-depth learning

through authentic, challenging and relevant experiences.
