Chapter Content
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) is a challenging framework that encourages students aged 11 to 16 to make practical connections between their studies and the real world. It's built on a foundation of holistic learning, interdisciplinary connections, and the development of essential skills. The MYP aims to develop active, compassionate, and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
Detailed Explanation
The IB MYP is an educational structure designed for students aged 11 to 16 that promotes real-world connections to their studies. It focuses on a holistic approach to learning, which means looking at subjects as interconnected rather than separate. The goal is to create learners who are not only knowledgeable but also empathetic and aware of diverse perspectives.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine the MYP as a bridge connecting various subjects, like math, science, and art. Instead of viewing them as separate islands, the MYP helps students see how these subject areas interconnect, just as a bridge allows travelers to see how different parts of a city are linked.

Chapter Content
In PHE, the MYP framework encourages us to explore concepts through six global contexts, fostering an understanding of our shared humanity and responsibilities. These contexts help us connect our learning to real-world issues and develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.
Detailed Explanation
The MYP framework within PHE uses six global contexts to guide learning, which encourages us to relate our academic knowledge to real-world situations. This approach helps students engage with and understand their role in society, pushing them to think about their responsibilities toward others and the world.
Examples & Analogies
Think of these global contexts like lenses through which students can view their learning. Just as different types of lenses can change how we see the world, these contexts allow students to better understand various aspects of life and how they fit in, making lessons more relatable and impactful.

Chapter Content
PHE recognizes that physical and mental health are interconnected. We'll explore how physical activity impacts our emotional, social, and intellectual well-being, and vice versa.
Detailed Explanation
This holistic perspective emphasizes the importance of understanding that mental and physical health are linked. Engaging in physical activity can boost emotional well-being and improve social relationships while mental health can significantly impact one's ability to engage in physical activities.
Examples & Analogies
Consider how people often feel uplifted and energized after a workout. Just like a healthy plant needs water and sunlight to thrive, humans need both physical activity and mental wellness to lead fulfilling lives.

Chapter Content
Instead of rote memorization, we'll focus on understanding core concepts. For example, rather than just learning about specific exercises, we'll explore the concept of fitness components and their application.
Detailed Explanation
The focus in PHE is not merely to memorize facts or procedures but to comprehend and apply key ideas in real-world scenarios. This conceptual understanding enables students to apply what they've learned to their own lives, such as understanding different components that contribute to fitness.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you want to build a strong house. Instead of just memorizing how to use different tools, you need to understand why each tool is important and how they work together. Similarly, in PHE, understanding the 'why' behind fitness components enables students to make informed decisions about their health.
Inquiry-Based Learning in PHE

Chapter Content
You'll be encouraged to ask questions, investigate, and discover knowledge for yourselves. This means actively participating in discussions, experiments, and reflections.
Detailed Explanation
Inquiry-based learning allows students to take an active role in their education by asking questions and seeking answers. It promotes curiosity and engagement, encouraging students to participate in discussions and reflect on what they learn, which reinforces their understanding.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a detective investigating a mystery. Rather than just being told what happened, they ask questions and gather clues to uncover the truth. In the same way, students in PHE are like detectives piecing together information to understand their health and well-being.
Action and Reflection in PHE
Chapter 7 of 9

Chapter Content
A key component of the MYP is encouraging you to take action based on your learning and then reflect on the outcomes. This might involve setting personal fitness goals, trying new sports, or making healthier lifestyle choices.
Detailed Explanation
Taking action based on learning encourages students to apply their knowledge practically. Reflection on those actions helps students assess what worked well and what didnβt, fostering a cycle of continuous improvement in their health and fitness journeys.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a gardener who plants seeds. First, they learn about the best conditions for growth (their learning), then they plant the seeds (action), and later they check to see how well the plants are growing (reflection). This cycle helps them improve their gardening skills over time.

The aims of MYP PHE are designed to provide a broad and balanced education that will help you become a well-rounded individual. Specifically, PHE aims to: 1. Encourage students to understand and appreciate the value of being physically active and developing healthy lifestyles. 2. Develop students' motor skills, knowledge, and understanding to perform a variety of physical activities. 3. Promote an understanding of the impact of physical activity and health choices on well-being. 4. Foster an awareness and understanding of cultural and historical perspectives of physical activity and sport. 5. Encourage students to make informed decisions about their own health and well-being. 6. Develop students' collaborative and social skills through participation in physical activities.
Detailed Explanation
The aims of MYP PHE focus on providing a comprehensive education that nurtures students into well-rounded individuals. This includes understanding the importance of physical activity, developing motor skills, recognizing how health choices affect well-being, and learning about cultural perspectives on sports. The aim is to equip students with the skills necessary for making informed health decisions and working collaboratively.
Examples & Analogies
Think of the aims as pieces of a puzzle. Each piece (aim) is crucial to completing the picture of what it means to be a healthy and active person. Just as a puzzle image wonβt be complete until all pieces are put together, a studentβs education in PHE wonβt be complete until they engage with all these aims.

Chapter Content
Our specific learning objectives for Grade 9 PHE will guide our assessments and learning activities. These objectives are categorized into four strands: 1. A. Knowing and Understanding: This objective focuses on your ability to recall and understand subject-specific terminology, concepts, and principles. 2. B. Planning for Performance: This objective assesses your ability to plan, analyze, and evaluate strategies and techniques in various physical activities. 3. C. Applying and Performing: This objective focuses on your ability to demonstrate and apply physical skills and techniques effectively in different contexts. 4. D. Reflecting and Improving Performance: This objective assesses your ability to reflect critically on your own performance and the performance of others, and to suggest ways for improvement.
Detailed Explanation
For Grade 9, the learning objectives are organized into four clear strands. Each strand focuses on a particular area of learning: knowing key concepts, planning physical activities, applying skills in practice, and reflecting on performance. These categories help teachers assess students' understanding and abilities systematically.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a sports coach who creates a training plan for their team. The coach checks their players' knowledge of plays (Knowing and Understanding), plans drills (Planning for Performance), observes them during practice (Applying and Performing), and gives feedback on how they can improve (Reflecting and Improving Performance). This systematic approach ensures comprehensive development.
