MYP framework
The IB MYP framework, built into EduLib
Everything a teacher needs to plan concept-driven MYP units — key concepts, global contexts, ATL skills, the learner profile, command terms and assessment criteria — embedded here and linked to our standards-mapped lessons. For the official documents themselves, see the IB links on our teacher resources page.
Key concepts
All 16 key concepts with plain-English definitions and the subjects they anchor.
Open guideGlobal contexts

The 5 ATL categories and their skill clusters with classroom indicators.
Open guideLearner profile
The 10 IB learner profile attributes and what they look like in class.
Open guideCommand terms
Subject-guide command terms for Science, English and Mathematics, split by MYP year band.
Open guideAssessment criteria A–D
The objective criteria for 3 subject groups and the shared 0–8 achievement scale.
Open guideHow a MYP unit fits together
- Choose one key concept and one or two related concepts for your subject.
- Pick the global context whose question the content genuinely answers.
- Write a statement of inquiry linking concept, related concept and context.
- Plan learning that develops specific ATL skills and learner profile attributes.
- Assess with criteria A–D on the 0–8 scale — never a percentage.
