The document outlines the key components of the PYP curriculum, including the written, taught, and assessed curriculum. The written curriculum focuses on concepts, knowledge, skills, action, and attitudes that students should learn. The taught curriculum emphasizes collaboration, reflection, inquiry-based learning, engaging students, and using appropriate resources. Finally, the assessed curriculum involves formative and summative assessment, as well as recording, reporting, and reflecting on student learning through student-led conferences, portfolios, and other means.
