Curious about the upcoming changes in MYP interdisciplinary learning and assessment?! Join a cohort with global educators to learn more.

Over the course of four learning modules, spread out over a four-month period, participants will learn about the changes in the MYP interdisciplinary guide and consider potential entry points into developing ideas for IDUs that support the new objectives. Tips and a sample unit will be provided to help participants envision the expectations for developing each section of an MYP interdisciplinary unit plan. This MiniPD event will engage participants in a “flipped” learning model that involves a combination of asynchronous and synchronous online experiences. <ul><li>Before each synchronous session, there will be a video presentation to view and questions can be submitted. </li><li>During the synchronous session, the focus will be on clarification of any submitted questions, and deeper discussion and idea generation in breakout rooms.</li><li>After the synchronous session, participants will reflect and can optionally access extension resources. </li></ul>During the month between synchronous sessions, participants will have time to apply their learning as they develop their own interdisciplinary units. Asynchronous content will be available 3 weeks before the first session.This sessions will take place at 1:30 am UTC. Use this time when converting the time to your time zone. Below we have listed a few times zone for your convenience.
