Schools can still send their unit planners to the unit planner evaluation services BQC?
True or False
False. There aren’t any plans to bring back the unit planner evaluation services - BQC. This is mainly due to the fact that the IB will now provide ample guidance (text, videos, etc) when it comes to unit planning.
The old approach of Service as Action is now adopted as......
The concept of "Community Engagement"

What is the child's final Criterion A grade for the semester and why?
6 , upward trend.
In the current approach, there are 5 ATL categories, supported with 10 clusters, and over 140 skill indicators are provided as examples.
Will the 5 ATL categories (Social, Research, Thinking, Communication and Self-Management) be discontinued in the new approach?

No. The five skill categories will continue to be shared across all IB programmes.
MyIB will continue to exist after the Enhancements?
True or False?
False
The website will be discontinued and replaced with a more intuitive platform with an enhanced user experience. There will be a more interactive way of sharing resources. An IB chatbot is currently being trained to help make suggestions on how items may be improved once the site is available.
The SOI (Statement of Inquiry) is now called a........
What is an Inquiry Question or Inquiry Statement
Community Engagement is at the heart of unit planning and is an invaluable tool to help ground learning in the local context.
At ISD, what is our vehicle for COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT called and give its definition?
A.C.E!
We are allowed to average grades in the new MYP enhancements?
False. This happens when hell freezes over!
Will the IB continue to ask schools to
use the 10 SKILL CLUSTERS?
The IB will NOT require schools to use the 10 skill clusters currently identified in MYP: From principles into practice.
True or False
False.
There will be a variety of unit planners to choose from once the enhancements have been put in place. Beta trials are discontinued 2027 and first teaching will be 2028.
The MYP Enhanced approach to CONCEPTS involves moving away from two levels of concepts (key and related) to a set of specified concepts per subject.
TRUE or FALSE
TRUE
In the current approach, LEARNING OUTCOMES describe the intention of students’ involvement in service as action.
What are these called in the enhanced approach and why?
A smaller number of LEARNING OBJECTIVES provide greater clarity of purpose, as well as closer alignment between the MYP and other IB programmes.
Which three subject areas will have thematic alignment of assessment criteria for the enhanced MYP?
There will be a thematic alignment of criteria across Design, PHE and Arts subjects.
A shorter list of suggested general skills in each category will be provided.
Subject Guides that are due for updates e.g Design and Sciences will be made available in what year and when does first teaching occur?
All MYP guides will be updated 2027 (those due for updates) and made available simultaneously with other MYP Enhancements. First teaching takes place 2028.
How does the "Global Context" now feature in the unit planning process of the enhanced MYP?
Teachers can use one global context and an exploration to clarify the purpose of and plan the learning engagement and assessments for the unit.
The Global Context need no longer appear in the inquiry statement. The inquiry statement or inquiry question can include the global context, but this is not a requirement.
In the current approach, the SERVICE AS ACTION model focuses solely on service—both direct and indirect—as a mode of contribution to a community.
Name the 5 different ways students can respond to their unique contexts in the Enhanced Approach?
Dialogue
Relationship-building
Reflection and Reflexivity
How many choices of assessment criteria across grade levels will we have in the new Enhanced MYP?
There will be an introduction of two choices for assessment criteria - (one for MYP 1 - 3 - except Language Acquisition) and Subject Specific (MYP 4 - 5).
In the current approach, teachers integrate and EXPLCITLY teach approaches to learning skills.
How will this approach change in the enhanced MYP?
•Schools and teachers may select from or adapt the skills identified in the list of suggested general skills. They may also identify other skills to support student- and subject-specific needs.
•The terms “explicit” and “implicit” will no longer be used.
Name the 4 curriculum integrated CORE elements of the new Enhanced MYP.
A curriculum integrated CORE will be introduced and these will encompass:
i) Skills/competencies,
ii) Interdisciplinary Learning
iii) Community Engagement and the
iv) Personal Project (MYP 5 schools) or Community Project (MYP 3 schools)
•SELECT the ............ that best fit the unit described.
•Describe how you might TEACH the relevant .......
•Identify a task for students to self-REFLECT on their ......... development.
•Consider how you would DOCUMENT your selected ......... development.
What word goes in the blanks and what do the steps above highlight?
SKILLS - ATL SKILLS
They reflect the new documentation process for teachers where ATL skills are considered in the enhanced MYP
In the current approach, units of inquiry may include opportunities for students to initiate their inquiry into local expressions of global challenges, using the service as action model.
How does this change in the Enhanced approach?
If a teacher selects community engagement as a guiding principle for a given unit of inquiry, the unit MUST include opportunities for students to collaborate with their peers and communities, to respond to opportunities and challenges locally and/or globally.
In what Exam Session (Year) will the eAssessments be ready for the MYP Enhancements?
Enhancements for eAssessments will be in place for the 2030 exam session. The e-assessment is meant to test Knowledge, Understanding and Skills and will serve as a means of preparing students for digital exams in the DP/CP.
To reach an acceptable level for evaluation or authorisation, what two things must be done when documenting the ATL skill in the unit planner?
•Identify the skills associated with approaches to learning that will be taught in the unit.
•Describe the process used to teach each approaches to learning skill strategy, OR outline the learning experience(s) through which students will practise each approaches to learning skill strategy.
Currently which workshops (category) in particular have been updated to reflect the MYP enhancements?
Category 2 Subject Workshops and Category 3 Creating Authentic workshops have been updated to explore MYP Enhancements. They currently do not however reflect current trial assessment models. These will be updated on an ongoing basis.
