International Baccalaureate Program....coming to Bradley Elementary 2004-2005
Join us at Bradley - Open house all day!
WHEN: Tuesday, May 11th.
The Primary Years Programme (PYP), for students aged 3 to 12, focuses on
the development of the whole child, in the classroom but also in the world
outside, through other environments where children learn. It offers a framework
that meets children’s several needs: academic, social, physical, emotional and cultural.
This program is a comprehensive approach to teaching and learning with an
international curriculum model that provides:
Guidelines for what students should learn
Teaching methodology
Assessment strategies
Spanish language curriculum
Extended Arts & Music curriculum
After consultation with the International Baccalaureate Organization, and
provided certain conditions are met, schools enjoy much flexibility in
terms of language of instruction and languages taught.
At the heart of the PYP is a commitment to structured inquiry as a vehicle for learning.
- Six organizing themes help teachers and children explore knowledge in the
broadest sense of the word.
- Teachers and students use key questions that are concept-based to structure the units of inquiry.
- They acquire and apply transdisciplinary skills while developing an understanding of these important concepts.
The development of explicit attitudes and the expectation of socially responsible behaviour are also essential elements of the programme.
