1 Baldwin School of Puerto Rico Primary Years Program Curricular Handbook
2 Baldwin School is a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (PYP) for grades Pre Pre Kinder through Fifth. The PYP serves as a curricular outline that includes five components referred to as the 5 Essential Elements. These components, described below, facilitate the creation of the school s curriculum providing a framework and foundation to support teaching, learning, and assessment. Included as well is a description of the attributes of the Learner Profile which serve as the ultimate goal that our program pursues, striving to develop these attributes in all the learners of our school community. The objective of this Curricular Handbook is to facilitate the understanding of the components that comprise Baldwin s Primary Years Program. Essential Elements of the Primary Years Program Knowledge : Significant, relevant content that we wish the students to explore and know about, taking into consideration their prior experience and understanding. Knowledge is framed by six transdisciplinary themes. Concepts : Powerful ideas that have relevance within the subject areas but also transcend them and that students must explore and re-explore in order to develop a coherent, in-depth understanding. There are eight key concepts and many subject specific related concepts. Skills : Those capabilities that the students need to demonstrate to succeed in a changing, challenging world, which may be disciplinary or transdisciplinary in nature. The transdisciplinary skills or Approaches to Learning are grouped into five categories. Attitudes : Dispositions that are expressions of fundamental values, beliefs and feelings about learning, the environment and people. The twelve attitudes are understood to develop the attributes of the Learner Profile. Action : Demonstrations of deeper learning in responsible behavior through responsible action; a manifestation in practice of the other essential elements.
3 Knowledge - Transdisciplinary themes Who we are An inquiry into the nature of the self; beliefs and values; personal, physical, mental, social and spiritual health; human relationships including families, friends, communities, and cultures; rights and responsibilities; what it means to be human. Where we are in place and time An inquiry into orientation in place and time; personal histories; homes and journeys; the discoveries, explorations and migrations of humankind; the relationships between and the interconnectedness of individuals and civilizations, from local and global perspectives. How we express ourselves An inquiry into the ways in which we discover and express ideas, feelings, nature, culture, beliefs and values; the ways in which we reflect on, extend and enjoy our creativity; our appreciation of the aesthetic. How the world works An inquiry into the natural world and its laws; the interaction between the natural world (physical and biological) and human societies; how humans use their understanding of scientific principles; the impact of scientific and technological advances on society and on the environment. How we organize ourselves An inquiry into the interconnectedness of human-made systems and communities; the structure and function of organizations; societal decision-making; economic activities and their impact on humankind and the environment. Sharing the planet An inquiry into rights and responsibilities in the struggle to share finite resources with other people and with other living things; communities and the relationships within and between them; access to equal opportunities; peace and conflict resolution.

9 Program of Inquiry The school s Program of Inquiry is the collection of each grade level s units of inquiry. In grades K-5, six units are developed - a unit for each of the transdisciplinary themes. Pre pre Kinder and Pre Kinder each develop four units, including Who we are and How we express ourselves. The transdisciplinary units integrate skills, concepts, and content knowledge from the different subjects; it is through these units that the Science and Social Studies curricula is taught, learned, and assessed. Languages are ever present in the units of inquiry as they are the vehicle for expressing what has been learned. Mathematics, the Arts, PE, and Technology are integrated in meaningful ways to facilitate and extend learning beyond the disciplines. The following pages map the Program of Inquiry that was created during the previous school year. The units of inquiry are revised and updated as the faculty reflects on the results of the learning process. Each unit of inquiry is a working draft strategically organized to guide learning as well as to promote student action relevant to that learning. Single subject units of inquiry In addition to the school s Program of Inquiry, teachers develop single subject units of inquiry that focus on specific skills, concepts, and knowledge. This provides a balanced approach by maintaining emphasis on core skills, while still using inquiry as the vehicle to drive the learning process. *(POI pages, separate G-doc)*
10 Languages Through teaching and learning in both English and Spanish students grow to become effective communicators and collaborators. Central goals of our language programs include: to instill a love for reading and writing that goes beyond given coursework to develop confidence in oral expression in both languages in a variety of settings to grow the readiness, skills and mechanics of reading in the early years to effectively support the transition from learning to read into reading to learn in the upper Elementary grades to share and enjoy reading a variety of literary genres and informational texts to produce written work for different purposes and audiences Mathematics The mathematics program places much emphasis on developing numeracy as well as the application of these skills in solving problems. In a developmentally sound progression students are challenged to use hands-on materials, images, and symbols to support their understanding of mathematical concepts. Central goals of the Math program include: to facilitate the understanding of number patterns and relationships to engage in and enjoy playing with numbers and related math concepts to develop sound computational procedures and strategies that facilitate mental math competency and effective problem solving application Science and Social Studies Science and Social Studies content area knowledge, skills, and concepts are developed primarily through the units of our Program of Inquiry (explained above). For our young learners the primary goal is to maintain and grow the innate curiosity to explore our world through both perspectives: how things work and how interactions affect what happens within it. Becoming thoughtful observers and critical, constructive thinkers is a life-long process that is best started at the earliest stages of development. Visual and Performing Arts Through the Visual and Performing Arts students explore different ways of expressing themselves and their ideas, as well as thoughtful ways to appreciate others creativity. Concepts and technique are both addressed through meaningful units that aim to inspire students imagination and wonder. Through various performances and exhibitions during the school year students are encouraged to share their creative expression with the school community. Physical Education In the PE program students explore how physical activity and organized play are part of health, wellness, and a balanced lifestyle. Gross motor development, teamwork, and sportsmanship are interwoven throughout the experiences in class and the special events sponsored by the PE department.
11 Technology Using technology effectively is a primary learning goal in twenty-first century education. Our students develop skills through hands on learning with a variety of devices and software programs. Using technology to express ideas and knowledge digitally is scaffolded throughout the grade levels. Students also inquire into related concepts such as digital citizenship and digital footprints.
