How can primary schools take a pedagogical approach to improvement?

New government targets for primary school student attainment have revived the conversation on how we can use pedagogical strategies and teaching methods to improve outcomes for learners. A pedagogical approach is at the core of the International Baccalaureate’s Primary Years Programme (PYP), a student-centric approach to education for children aged four to 11. The inquiry-based, transdisciplinary framework builds conceptual learning and delivers excellent outcomes by providing an education that is engaging, relevant, challenging, and significant.
