Each subject group in the IB MYP has unique objectives and assessment criteria that align with the programme goals. These objectives guide teachers in what students should know and be able to do by the end of each unit. Each objective must be assessed at least twice a year to ensure students have opportunities to demonstrate their growth. Students receive clear feedback on their progress, strengths, and areas for growth based on the assessment criteria. By designing assessments that align with subject-specific objectives, teachers ensure students build the skills and knowledge needed to succeed both in and out of the classroom.
