Are you new to the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and feeling overwhelmed by the "planner," "central ideas," and collaborative unit design meetings? You're not alone-and this guide is here to help.

Planning the PYP Way breaks down the core elements of transdisciplinary planning into clear, practical steps. Whether you're coming from a national curriculum or just starting your IB journey, this book offers the clarity and confidence you need to create meaningful, student-centered units of inquiry.

What You'll Learn Inside:

• The structure of a typical PYP planner (without the jargon)
• Practical ways to integrate ATL skills, learner profile traits, and key concepts
• How to collaborate in planner meetings without losing your mind
• What to do when your unit veers off course (because it will sometimes!)

Written by an experienced PYP educator, this guide is filled with real-world tips, plain-language explanations, and ready-to-use tools that make planning in the PYP not just manageable, but inspiring.

Bonus Tools Included:

• Editable UOI Planner Template
• Unit Planning Checklist

With over a decade of experience teaching the IB Primary Years Programme and Cambridge Primary Curriculum across multiple countries, she brings an inquiry-based, heart-centered approach to everything she creates.

Now based in Baku, Azerbaijan, she designs books, guides, and classroom tools that go beyond busywork.
