It provides educators with a framework for designing authentic learning experiences for students, enabling them to make connections to the world outside of the classroom. Over its five years, the programme focuses on developing students&#8217; mindsets and skills that allow them to become lifelong learners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students engage in <strong>eight academic disciplines<\/strong>, building on both subject-specific and interdisciplinary knowledge, and continually inquire into how knowledge transfers within subjects, as well as to the world they inhabit. The MYP curriculum includes the following key components, which we will go over in this guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Approaches to learning skills: Five skill groups, or <em>clusters<\/em>, which students are explicitly taught how to develop across experiences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Key and related concepts: Disciplinary anchors that help students explore big ideas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Global contexts: Umbrella explorations to situate taught content within the real world<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large full-w-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Understanding-the-MYP_-An-interdisciplinary-programme-1024x629.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Understanding-the-MYP_-An-interdisciplinary-programme-1024x629.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Understanding-the-MYP_-An-interdisciplinary-programme-300x184.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Understanding-the-MYP_-An-interdisciplinary-programme-768x471.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Understanding-the-MYP_-An-interdisciplinary-programme-1536x943.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Understanding-the-MYP_-An-interdisciplinary-programme-2048x1257.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Understanding-the-MYP_-An-interdisciplinary-programme-1200x737.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Understanding-the-MYP_-An-interdisciplinary-programme-1980x1215.webp 1980w, https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Understanding-the-MYP_-An-interdisciplinary-programme-24x15.webp 24w, https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Understanding-the-MYP_-An-interdisciplinary-programme-36x22.webp 36w, https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Understanding-the-MYP_-An-interdisciplinary-programme-48x29.webp 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started with understanding the key tenets of the MYP, as well as each of the individual subject groups, check out our visual guides below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"owl-carousel card-items\">\n\t<div class=\"item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/resource_post\/myp-visual-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/43.png\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/resource_post\/visual-guides-to-myp-subjects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Visual-subject-guides.png\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":8455,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-8456","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Part 1: What is the MYP? - Toddle Learn<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Explore the IB MYP\u2014a concept-driven curriculum fostering lifelong learning.
