Primary Years Programme (PYP) Learner Profile

A concept-driven curriculum

As a result of the recent Parent Engagement Workshop (PEW) on; Introduction to the PYP, I thought I would share the Key Concepts in this article so that parents can use some of these in order to stimulate rich discussions with their children whilst reading quality picture books.

Form: What is it like?

Function: How does it work?

Causation: Why is it like it is?

Change: How is it changing?

Connection: How is it connected to other things?

Perspective: What are the points of view?

Responsibility: What is our responsibility?

Reflection: How do we know?
