Introducing the IB Programmes: The Primary Years Programme (PYP)
In this episode Kirsten McPherson talks about the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). Kirsten is the PYP coordinator at Matoska International School, a public school in the White Bear Lake school district near St. Paul, MN. Kirsten explains how the learning for PYP students is conceptual and contextual with examples of how students and teachers approach teaching and learning in her PYP school. We hear how local standards are brought to life when teachers break down the pre-written curriculum and help young students see the connections between traditional subjects in a trans-disciplinary way.More information about the PYP can be found on the IB website or on our MNIB website.
