IB MYP A balanced programme

The MYP provides learning in a broad base of disciplines to ensure that students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare for the future.

The subject group objectives include skills, attitudes and knowledge in addition to understanding of subject specific concepts.
The MYP promotes the principle of concurrency of learning. As students mature and develop they explore disciplines in greater depth. The MYP encourages the use of a variety of teaching and learning methodologies. The MYP emphasizes the development of the whole person.

Reflection
How do the two models impact both teaching and learning in the discipline?
How do they work together? When considering teaching and learning, how does the MYP ensure a balanced approach? What effect does a balanced approach have on a student? Where do we find the evidence for balance?
