MYP Category 3: Creating Authentic Units in the MYP

RECOMMENDED FOR:
Experienced Middle Years Programme (MYP) teachers and
coordinators.
This workshop will provide concrete strategies to assist teachers
in creating a learning culture that connects cognitive and
constructivist learning theories to MYP real-world assessment
practices. Effective teaching is a process, not a technique, and
is rooted in authentic assessment practices. There is a deep
exploration of how formative and summative assessments work
together to create a well-defined approach to making learning
meaningful and authentic. This workshop aims to:
• develop your understanding of how assessment informs the
teaching and learning of students
• provide you with a variety of strategies and pedagogies that
support the practical application of MYP assessment philosophy
allow you to reflect on how the design of assessment impacts the
culture of teaching and learning in your schools, beginning with
writing a school assessment policy
