bqc-claremont1 (1).pdfWhat is Building Quality Curriculum (BQC)?
From the IBO:
Participation in MYP BQC is one of the two options that serve as a requirement for programme evaluation
MYP Building Quality Curriculum (MYP BQC) provides guidance and feedback on MYP unit plans, supporting continuous improvement of written, taught and assessed curriculum.
This service provides feedback by expert curriculum reviewers, based on foundational programme documents: Evaluating MYP unit plans (2016) and Evaluating MYP interdisciplinary unit plans (2016).
Participation in BQC as part of programme evaluation involves submission of two unit plans from each subject group taught in your programme along with two interdisciplinary unit plans.
Typically, schools submit 18 unit plans for review.
In addition, at least one-unit plan from each year of the MYP taught in your programme must be submitted for review.

Resources:
In addition to the FPIP and the subject guides, the Evaluating MYP unit plans document provides guidance when developing unit plans. Teachers teaching in the MYP should be able to develop units that reach the "using" and "sharing" level as evaluated against the Evaluating MYP unit plans criteria.

Note: These documents are put together from all the best feedback we have received from IB across all MYP subjects. Therefore the content is not aligned but the models can be used to understand the standard for a good unit plan.
