MYP Updates

Approaches to Learning

Skills are sets of strategies and techniques that people use to achieve a specific purpose. With MYP, students develop skills, ATLs, that will help them “learn how to learn”. They provide a solid foundation for students to learn independently, prepare for, and demonstrate learning through meaningful assessments.

The ATLs are communication (exchanging thoughts, messages, and information effectively through interaction/reading, writing and using language to communicate information), social ( collaboration, working effectively with others),self-management (organization skills, affective skills {mindfulness, perseverance, emotional management, self-motivation, and resilience},reflective skills, research (literacy skills), and thinking (critical thinking skills, creative thinking skills, and transfer skills).

ATL skills focus on the process of learning, helping students to become confident, independent, self-managed learners for life. As teachers, we need to teach these skills explicitly allowing the students to have structured opportunities to practice them.
