Education for 11-16 year olds When you were this age: • What did you like about school? • What did you not like about school?
Historical Background of MYP • began in 1980’s: initiative of International Schools Association (ISA) known as ISAC • 1994 taken over by IBO • since 1994: major curriculum development and growth
What influenced MYP? The educational discourse in our nation has been limited to the following statement: "Test scores are too low. Make them go up.” "If learners are not involved in their learning, they do not learn". "the highest quality teaching and learning comes when we have the greatest autonomy for the teacher and the learner". Do we really want our schools to resemble test-preparation cram courses?
What influenced the MYP? UNESCO Learning, The Treasure Within 1996 Simply speaking, the Commission felt that education throughout life is based upon four pillars: • learning to know, • learning to do, • learning to live together and • learning to be.
Rewards Meaningful learning Assessment which promotes learning Rigour and relevance Generates a powerful professional learning community Align with local requirements Encourages innovation and creativity What does MYP bring? High expectations • Teachers • Students • Collaborative school community
