A student’s personal project consists of three components:
the process
the product/outcome
the reporting of the project

Personal projectmain changes
Use of the process journal more strongly defined
Goal – one area of interaction only; student-created specifications to evaluate the success of the project’s outcome/product
The final outcome/product is assessed
Reflection on learning – related to the topic as well as approached to learning
The reporting of the project can be through different formats

Humanities
Main changes under consideration
Develop an MYP humanities conceptual framework: objective B Concepts would disappear and conceptual understanding would be addressed through all objectives. MYP humanities courses would need to address defined concepts each year of the programme.
Refine the objective strands relating to skills, organising them under two objective headings: Investigating and Thinking critically .

Humanities - Draft objectives Knowing
Investigating
Thinking critically
Communicating
All the corresponding assessment criteria are equally weighted with a maximum level 8.

Knowing
Knowledge is both factual and conceptual and provides the
foundation for critical thinking.
Page 14
![Page 15: Day 3 MYP Updates](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020200/568bda011a28ab2034a928d3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Investigating
The development of investigative skills in humanities is an integral part of the inquiry cycle. It enables students to plan and carry out research and fieldwork as individuals or in a group.
Activities which allow students to develop investigative skills include, but are not limited to; research essays, case studies, field work, webquests, problem-solving, role play and group investigations.

Thinking critically
Thinking critically in humanities is vital in developing a deeper understanding about the humanities concepts. It is built on the knowledge-base of humanities and is an integral part of the inquiry cycle.

Communicating
Students should be able to demonstrate the ability to use a variety of formats to organize and communicate their factual and conceptual learning.
These formats include, but are not limited to; written reports, oral presentations, cartoons, storyboards, maps, diagrams, flow charts, PowerPoint® presentations, podcasts, animations.

Language BFinal phase of the review (November 2010 to March 2011)
✓ Revised objectives and criteria being trialed in 25 schools
around the world
✓ Guide is being revised for publication in January 2012
✓ TSM is being produced and will be published together with the guide

Language BScope of the review
Aims, objectives and language learning rationale have been aligned with PYP and DP language subject areas
Revisions reflect IB’s stance on language and learning
Revised framework is in line with trends and current thinking on language learning
Increased flexibility, inclusivity and access to studying languages in the MYP have been created with the changes to the guidelines
The investigation into merging Language A and B has begun. The first stage is to consider possibility of one ‘languages continuum’
Page 19
![Page 20: Day 3 MYP Updates](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020200/568bda011a28ab2034a928d3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Language BMajor changes to the teaching, learning and assessment framework
From 2012, Language B will be organised in six phases (rather than the current 3 levels Foundation, Standard and Advanced)
MYP Language B proficiency table has been developed with statements of proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, writing for 6 phases.
11 Aims and a set of 11 course objectives
Emphasis on students as critical, competent, communicators and the development of multiliteracy skills - oracy, visuacy, literacy
Page 20
![Page 21: Day 3 MYP Updates](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020200/568bda011a28ab2034a928d3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Language B
Objectives organised into four communicative processes: A-Oral communication; B-Visual interpretation; C- Reading comprehension; D-Writing
For the purpose of planning, teaching and assessment, these objectives have been mapped on four corresponding continuums to show clearly the expectations for each phase. The specific expectations for each phase given on the continuum are the interim objectives to direct teaching and learning towards achieving the final objectives of the course.
Page 21
![Page 22: Day 3 MYP Updates](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020200/568bda011a28ab2034a928d3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Language B
The continua are also a diagnostic tool to assist teachers in planning language learning experiences and a formative assessment tool to monitor and assess their language development
The cognitive, linguistic and socio-cultural aspects (strands) of communication are intertwined in the objectives. They are purpose, context, language conventions
For each interim objective in all six phases, corresponding interim criteria have been devised
Page 22
![Page 23: Day 3 MYP Updates](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020200/568bda011a28ab2034a928d3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Language B
Prescribed tasks have been set for all 6 phases
Character, scripts and alphabetical languages have been considered separately
Separate criteria have been drafted for Chinese and Arabic mainly in the oral and writing skills areas
Guidelines with specific objectives and criteria for sign languages, heritage/revival languages, classical languages will be provided as joint publications in 2012. The criteria are currently being trialed in a number of schools
A full report outlining the major changes is available in English in the OCC on the Language B page

Sciences review
Second meeting held February 2011 in Bethesda
Aims, objectives and criteria produced
The 2015 guide will have four objectives and corresponding criteria
Science in the world
Use of knowledge
Inquiring and designing
Processing and evaluation
Page 24
![Page 25: Day 3 MYP Updates](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020200/568bda011a28ab2034a928d3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Science in the world
This objective refers to enabling students to gain a global understanding of science.
Science in the world provides the opportunity to apply a variety of communication modes to demonstrate an understanding of science through evaluating the implications of scientific developments and their applications to a specific problem or issue.
Students are expected to become aware of the importance of documenting the work of others when communicating in science.
Page 25
![Page 26: Day 3 MYP Updates](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020200/568bda011a28ab2034a928d3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Use of knowledge
This objective refers to enabling students to use scientific knowledge (facts, ideas, concepts, processes, laws, principles, models and theories) and to apply it to construct scientific explanations, solve problems and express scientifically supported judgements.
Page 26
![Page 27: Day 3 MYP Updates](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020200/568bda011a28ab2034a928d3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Inquiring and designing
This objective refers to enabling students to develop intellectual and practical skills through designing, analyzing and performing scientific investigations.
While the scientific method may take on a wide variety of approaches, it is the emphasis on experimental work that characterizes MYP scientific inquiry.
Page 27
![Page 28: Day 3 MYP Updates](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020200/568bda011a28ab2034a928d3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Processing and evaluation
This objective refers to enabling students to collect, process and interpret qualitative and/or quantitative data and explain appropriately reached conclusions.
Students are expected to develop analytical thinking skills to evaluate the method and explain possible improvements.

How do you feel about these developments?
Are you excited? Optimistic?
Are we missing something?
