=Welcome to our forum for discussing interdisciplinary teaching in Year 9=


 * What is interdisciplinary teaching? **


 * An important feature of MYP curriculum and pedagogy is its commitment to students’ interdisciplinary learning—that is, their ability to make meaningful connections across subjects in order to understand, and act in, the world.


 * “Interdisciplinary understanding refers to the ability to integrate knowledge and modes of thinking from two or more disciplines to generate a new insight’... new understanding’ … ‘it does not replace disciplinary teaching, rather it builds on it..” (Veronica Boix Mansilla, Harvard Project Zero)


 * Interdisciplinary teaching and learning should be: Purposeful, Disciplined and Integrative


 * For more detailed information please read the IB document //** MYP guide to interdisciplinary teaching and learning, 2010 **//which is available from the OCC or G:\Curriculum\MYP\Interdisciplinary Initiatives.
