The goal of ATL: to enable students to apply a range of ATL skills in different learning situations

Developing Skills / ATL’s in the IB continuum
•PYP students are taught the Transdisciplinary Skills •Once students progress to MYP and DP, the Transdisciplinary skills become the Approaches to Learning

ATL’s Skills are mapped horizontally but not vertically:•Each ATL Skills Cluster is significant at every level of the IB but skills examples will increase in complexity
•Individuals vary greatly in their age related skills proficiency
•Build continuity of skills across each level
•Design for total skills profile across all level
