Austin Elementary

The transdisciplinary model extends across all three pillars of the PYP curriculum framework which include the learner, learning and teaching, and the learning community. 

• The learner: describes the outcomes for individual students and the outcomes they seek for themselves (what is learning?)

• Learning and teaching: articulates the distinctive features of learning and teaching (how best to support learners?)

• The learning community: emphasizes the importance of the social outcomes of learning and the role that IB communities play in achieving these outcomes (who facilitates learning and teaching?)
