About the Webinar
Designing a strong Programme of Inquiry (POI) requires more than organizing units across grade levels. A meaningful POI builds conceptual understanding, supports skill development, encourages subject integration, and ensures coherence throughout the learning journey.
In this webinar, educators will explore practical approaches to designing a connected, balanced, and aligned POI that reflects the philosophy and expectations of the IB PYP. The session will focus on curriculum coherence, progression of concepts and skills, and strategies for strengthening collaboration across grade levels.
Participants will reflect on real school practices, analyze key considerations in POI design, and explore ways to review and strengthen existing programmes with greater clarity and purpose.
