Birney's Programme of Inquiry (POI) - Birney's Map of IB Units
The PYP framework is dynamic because a transdisciplinary programme of inquiry (POI) leaves room for emergent and unexpected ideas, directions and connections that students might encounter.
Specifically, students and teachers engage with:
- the programme of inquiry (POI)—the what, when and how learners explore the transdisciplinary themes
- concepts have relevance across, between and beyond the subjects and connect content knowledge to enable learners to build conceptual understandings
- the approaches to learning and approaches to teaching are both crucial for developing inquiring minds and the developing the skills needed to explore concepts, subject knowledge while they learn, discover, play, and explore...together and individually
- reflection and taking action enhance individual and collective understanding and learning or to address personal, local and/or global challenges and opportunities. (IBO.org)
