MYP Unit Planning What’s needed? How do I start?
Starting to Write a Unit Plan What’s needed? • Fundamental Concepts - FPIPS • AOI Scope and Sequence (SLEs written by the school) • Aims and Objectives of your subject • articulated vertically (PYP to MYP to DP) • Interim objectives for MYP (in Subject Guides and OCC) • and horizontally (for each year level) • Horizontal Planning • Curriculum Map: shows all subjects connected through ATL and the 4 other AOIs in each year level (Overview, Units, Course Outline)
AIS Areas of InteractionStudent Learning Expectations http://sharepoint/Curriculum/myp/areasofinteraction/AOI%20SLEs/Forms/AllItems.aspx
Standards and Benchmarks • Stem from Strands for each of the Objectives in your subject • Standards and Benchmarks can come from pre-existing curricula (e.g. NSW, etc) OR create your own • Should be articulated coherently across the years (vertically) - developing from PYP and aiming towards the DP (in theory) (FPIPS pp35-37)
MYP Unit Planner Stage 1 • Intended to be understandable and engaging for students in real life • Is given to the students at the beginning of the unit • States Area of Interaction focus and SLEs (from FPIPS p23 - ) • States the MYP unit question • States Summative assessment
MYP Unit Questions • Critique the Arts example according to the criteria • Other examples
TASK: Designing a Unit Question • In a small group with your subject area make your own unit question based any topic which you think would be the MOST relevant and engaging for teenagers • Check the AOI SLE documents. What is the AOI focus best suited to your question? • What is the Significant Concept? • Critique the work of other groups
MYP Unit Planner Stage 2 • Involves the supporting details and can be summed up as: • Information or prior learning • Content • Teaching strategies • Learning experiences • Approaches to learning
MYP Unit Planner Stage 3 • Ongoing Reflections and Evaluation • Students and Teachers • Possible connections • Assessment • Data Collection
Inter-disciplinary Unit Plans • IDUs Use ONE unit planner • State separate standards, objectives and benchmarks within one document • Summative assessment can be a single task • Usually combine no more than two Subject areas within a unit
