Dates​ ​to​ ​Remember: October October​ ​31st

Approaches​ ​to​ ​Learning Approaches​ ​to​ ​learning​ ​are​ ​the​ ​ways​ ​in​ ​which​ ​children learn.​ ​These​ ​include​ ​children’s​ ​“openness​ ​to​ ​tasks​ ​and challenges,​ ​task​ ​persistence,​ ​imagination,​ ​attentiveness, and​ ​the​ ​cognitive​ ​way​ ​that​ ​students​ ​process​ ​information.”

The​ ​PYP​ ​position​ ​is​ ​that,​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​conduct​ ​purposeful inquiry​ ​and​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​be​ ​well​ ​prepared​ ​for​ ​lifelong learning,​ ​students​ ​need​ ​to​ ​master​ ​a​ ​range​ ​of​ ​skills beyond​ ​those​ ​normally​ ​referred​ ​to​ ​as​ ​basic.​ ​ ​These​ ​skills are​ ​valuable,​ ​not​ ​only​ ​in​ ​the​ ​units​ ​of​ ​inquiry,​ ​but​ ​also​ ​for any​ ​teaching​ ​and​ ​learning​ ​that​ ​goes​ ​on​ ​in​ ​the​ ​classroom and​ ​in​ ​life​ ​outside​ ​the​ ​school.​ ​These​ ​approaches​ ​to learning​ ​include:​ ​thinking​ ​skills,​ ​social​ ​skills, communication​ ​skills,​ ​self​ ​management​ ​skills,​ ​and research​ ​skills.
