Session 7: Concepts

The PYP curriculum is concept-driven and transdisciplinary



Graphic by H. Lynn Erickson




Transdisciplinary skills are those things that students need to be able to do to succeed in a changing, challenging world.

In grade levels we brainstormed how research skills (one of the trans-disciplinary skills) might be seen in learners of that age group.  We looked at formulating questions, recording data and presenting research findings.  Then we created a joint continuum and posted it on the wall.
