IB Approaches to learning
Martha Alicia Silva Lara | IB Continuum Leader and MYP Coordinator
In this edition of our newsletter, I present to you the subject of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills as an introductory part to what will be the next Parents Making a Difference session to be held on November 24 at 6 p.m.
ATLs are the skills that help students to effectively manage and evaluate their learning, that is, to become people who self-regulate their learning. Through approaches to learning that include the following categories: research, critical and creative thinking, communication, self-management, and social. The same five ATLs skill categories are identified for all programs and they focus on the learning process.
They also help students to gain self-confidence, be independent, and self-manage their lifelong learning. Through the different programs and the corresponding subjects, students are offered structured opportunities to practice the skills.

These skills of approaches to learning can be learned and taught, improved with practice, and developed gradually. They provide a solid foundation for learning independently and collaboratively with others as you progress through your academic life and, through the three programs: Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), Career-related Programme (CP).
We wait for you in the next Parents Making a Difference session this month to learn more about the development of your children’s skills through the different IB programs.
