Approaches
In 2015 the IB produced a guide and associated documentation related to Approaches to Teaching and Learning (ATL). The document is intended to clarify and make more explicit the approaches to teaching and learning that underpin the DP. It consists of three sections.
- The first section focuses on approaches to learning (ATL).
- The second section focuses on approaches to teaching, and on the pedagogical principles that underlie the DP.
- The third section focuses on pedagogical leadership.
