When we talk about concepts we are talking about the Big Idea. We will teach the topic and cover the standards. Please note, the State Standards (GSE) is the curriculum and provides rigor while IB is the framework that uses the inquiry based methodology. Teaching from the concept allows for transfer. In MYP, we embed the concepts in context (Global Context). Concepts are learned in the big picture. For example, It is not about the trail of tears, it is about migration. It is not about Congress, it is about government. What are some of your anxiety with this shift in pedagogy?
Please remember to submit students for recognization of learner profiles: Thinkers and Balanced
