1. Approaches to Teaching and Learning
Driven by inquiry, action and reflection, IB programmes aim to develop a range of skills to help students
learn how to manage and evaluate their own learning. They learn more effectively if they understand how
they learn, and how to manage their own learning. Our students will only acquire these skills if we make our
expectations explicit, if students feel that their ideas are valued and respected, and if they get appropriate
feedback to support their learning.
Across the IB continuum, the IB identifies clusters of skills which have to be addressed in lessons:
Self-management skills Communication skills Thinking skills
-organizing learning materials
-managing time

Social Skills Research skills
-collaborating and workingin groups
-respecting other cultures and other points of
view
-being sensitive to cultural difference
-awareness of the emotions and feelings of others
-behaving in an ethical way
-formulating research questions
-referencing sources
-observational skills
-collecting,organizing, interpreting and
presenting information
-media literacy
Teachers design lessons so that the learning goals are clear, with a focus on central concepts, essential
guiding questions and global contexts. Teaching focuses on how students reason about a given topic, how
they apply the important concepts, and change their minds over time as they enrich their understanding.
Through approaches to learning (ATL), students develop skills that have relevance across the curriculum,
that help them “learn how to learn”. Learning skills develop incrementally, improving with practice. ATL
skills help students prepare for, and demonstrate learning through, meaningful assessment. They provide a
common language that students and teachers can use to reflect on and evaluate the process of learning.
