The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme stands in a proud tradition of reflective educators incorporating best practice into international schools. For the PYP to maintain relevance in education today, inquiry has to be rethought, refreshed and reapplied. Taking the PYP Forward does exactly that. Raising many questions and recognising the new challenges facing educators, this collaborative work brings together voices from both within and outside of the PYP.
After two years teaching within the PYP, this was a helpful review of concepts with a view towards next steps. While the book tends towards coverage of overarching philosophies, or basic underpinnings, of the programme, there are also practical suggestions that can be put into practice immediately. I would recommend this book for any PYP teacher or administrator.
