Reply To: Session 3a: Ruth Maloney (Tonbridge Grammar School)
For those who were interested in the IB ATL mapping project I have just spent and interesting hour with our MYP Coordinator looking at the BETA Enhanced MYP (available here https://pds.ibo.org/Prototype10MYPBeta-EN/#/menu/6716088b3cda1e4028a382f4 if you have My IB login). It seems to be a sensible simplification of the program including a pairing down of ATLs.
Those ATLs now listed under Research are only as shown in the attached screenshot and provide a brilliant space for FOSIL in place of the ‘The Big 6’. I wonder if we can work with the IBO to make this change?
Our MYP co-ordinator is really excited by these changes and by the opportunity to use FOSIL at this stage. I feel slightly nervous, and maybe someone can help me, in thinking that putting the FOSIL cycle inside an ATL called Research is the wrong way round. I am not sure this is entirely clear, my thinking feels fuzzy on this but I think that research is part of Inquiry and I feel uneasy about the order of things here.
