Is IB MYP Design a good fit for middle school students in Grades 6-8?
IB MYP Design is a good fit for students in grades 6-8 who are interested in the design cycle and design specifications. CIT offers online or in-person lessons in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Seoul, in one-to-one or small-group formats. Students make criterion-by-criterion practice tasks and written answers and revised answers with a record of what changed.
Students work through the four MYP Design criteria, from researching a problem and writing a design brief to creating a solution and evaluating it. Where to start depends on a short diagnostic of school progress and the time left; each criterion is then practiced with tasks and written answers, filling in missing evidence or explanation. Alongside the score, the student builds the academic evidence an application can use: how they applied a core idea, why an answer failed, and how they revised it.
