MYP Requirements: planning
plan individual MYP units of work using the practices described in the guide
ensure continuity and progression of learning in each subject group, using the recommended interim objectives for years 1 and 3
the areas of interaction are central to unit planning; the student learning expectations and key questions will assist in refining the focus

The MYP unit planner To bring together the written, assessed and taught
curriculums with the principles of the programme for teachers to use when designing MYP units of work.
The MYP unit planner leads teachers to integrate their significant subject concepts with the contexts for learning and assessment.
Following this initial integration of written and assessed curriculum components, teachers are then guided to consider the teaching strategies they will use and the learning experiences they will enable during the unit.

Language B - the revival pilot
Many languages in the world have become extinct and many other languages are today heading towards extinction.
Although schools cannot stop or reverse language loss by themselves, they are key players in a community that is trying to revive a language.
MYP students also have a key role to play in the language revival process.

Where are revival languages on the continuum of languages?
Language B foundation Language B standard Language B advanced Language A
When the language is sufficiently revived, it can feed into any level

Language under revival
There is a pilot in South Australia with Ngarrindjeri In the pilot, revival languages have their own
objectives and assessment criteria Revival languages will be moderated as a non-
sampled language (eg. Ngarrindjeri has been registered for the December 2008 session).
