IB Unit Planners

What Is in an IB PYP Unit Planner?

An IB PYP Unit Planner is a guide that shows what students will be learning and how they will be learning it. Each planner includes a big idea that students explore, as well as important questions that help them think deeply about the topic. It also outlines the skills students will practice—such as thinking, communication, and research—and the learner traits we aim to develop, like being caring, open-minded, and reflective.

The planner describes the activities and learning experiences students will take part in and explains how teachers will check for understanding along the way. Overall, the unit planner helps ensure learning is meaningful, connected to the real world, and designed to support your child’s curiosity and growth.
