MYP: The next chapter


Can we embrace the future by valuing the past?

History of the MYP


MYP: the next chapter The IB has reviewed the design of the MYP, aiming to

provide, for first teaching in 2014, a structure that more clearly enables students to be successful in further IB studies while also facilitating schools in combining the MYP with the requirements of national/state systems. The new design creates an innovative, concept-based and appropriately assessed programme for 11-16 year olds that fully reflects the IB principles of teaching and learning.

Where we are with MYP: the Next Chapter

Decisions: The overall plan for change of MYP has been approved by the IB Board but some specific areas are still in development or pilot.

Pilots: Aspects of the proposed changes are being piloted and final decisions will be taken as the outcomes of these pilots are evaluated.

Transition: The IB will guide schools in a gradual process and give maximum notice of change. The IB is mindful of the need for schools to be able to allocate resources efficiently.



Curriculum development Contextual learning

Evolution of areas of interaction to global contexts

Conceptual framework Key and related concepts Disciplinary understandings

Curriculum planning Approaches to learning Service as action Alignment across PYP, MYP and DP



Approaches to learning ATL to become part of all three programmes Much stronger emphasis Related to command terms Divided into 5 skills areas common with PYP and DP:

Not subject specific, but guides will include subject specific examples

Communication Social Self-management Research Thinking



Timeline of curriculum development Develop guides by 2014

No guides or TSMs will be published after 2012 until the launch of MYP: the next chapter suite of documents

Gathering feedback through: a) Surveying schools b) School visits and in conferences c) Curriculum review meetings and piloting of draft guides d) Informal feedback received from a range of stakeholders

including MYP & DP students



MYP internal assessment Developments: All subjects are moving to four criteria Mandated interim criteria and objectives for MYP1 and

MYP3 will be proposed Command terms will be used to define levels of the

criteria in all subjects Common criteria will be aligned across subjects where

applicable Monitoring of assessment will continue



Final Assessment

Year 3/4: Collaborative project

Year 5: Mandatory: • Moderation of personal

project Optional: • External summative e-assessment (in

development) • Monitoring



Assessment model Mandatory moderation for the personal project External summative assessment in MYP5 in development:

Provisionally first sessions in 2015 Optional as schools choice Electronically submitted and e-marked Criterion related assessment Disciplinary and interdisciplinary components Based on key concepts and developed around global issues Aimed for national accreditation and university recognition Offering an overall MYP certification but also the option to take a selection

of individual components

External e-Assessment will replace subject moderation. Final year for subject moderation will be 2014.



Subject groups The MYP will still have eight subject groups – some

group names will change as part of alignment with PYP/DP

Investigation of a flexibility option for schools that have difficulty offering all 8 subject groups in MYP4-5:

Students may have a choice of subject groups in years 4 and 5 of the programme: Minimum of 6 subject groups must be studied concurrently Language B or a second language A is required as one of the six

The flexibility option is being piloted in schools in 11 countries to study the effects on teaching and learning



Feedback from schools Survey sent to coordinators in all IB World Schools, both to schools that had or did not have MYP (May 2011)

MYP schools: 94% of respondents considered that,

taken together, they would view the changes as being positive in their school

IB schools without MYP: 91% of respondents

considered that, taken together, they would view the changes as being positive and would consider implementing the MYP in their school.
