Creating Authentic Units – Category 3

RECOMMENDED FOR:  Experienced Middle Years Programme (MYP) teachers and coordinators.

Experienced MYP educators in mixed-subject group cohorts will engage in collaborative inquiries that emphasize relevance, student agency, and interdisciplinary connections supported with pedagogical strategies.

 Participants will explore:

• The interconnected, ongoing cycle of unit planning across IB programmes, with a focus on designing units that reflect authentic, real-world challenges and opportunities.
•  Multiple entry points to unit planning—whether starting from content, concept(s), or context(s) to build units that are responsive to student interests and global issues.
•  Beta content that encourages risk-taking, experimentation, and reflection, leading to shared new understandings and innovative approaches to authentic learning.

Please note: These workshops will not provide training on the trial assessment models.
