 * Essential features of the exhibition **

As the culminating PYP experience, it is required that the exhibition reflects all the major features of the programme. Therefore it must:


 * Provide an opportunity for students to exhibit the attributes of the • IB learner profile that have been developing throughout their engagement with the PYP.
 * Incorporate all the key concepts; an understanding of the key concepts should be demonstrated by the application of key questions throughout the inquiry process.
 * Synthesize aspects of all six transdisciplinary themes.
 * Require students to use skills from all five sets of transdisciplinary skills.
 * Students should be given the opportunity to develop and apply skills from all the transdisciplinary skill areas in their exhibition inquiry.
 * Offer the students the opportunity to explore knowledge that is significant and relevant.
 * Offer opportunities for students to display attitudes that relate to people, the environment and their learning; these attitudes should be evident throughout the process.
 * Provide opportunities for students to engage in action; students should demonstrate an ability to reflect on and apply their learning to choose appropriate courses of action and carry them out; this action may take the form of personal involvement with the planning and implementation of the exhibition and/or service-orientated action; action may not always be clearly or immediately visible or measurable but evidence should be recorded whenever a particular behavior results from the learning involved.
 * Represent a process where students are engaged in a collaborative and student-led, in-depth inquiry facilitated by teachers; records should be kept that reflect the process of planning and student engagement with the exhibition.
 * Include ongoing and rigorous assessment of the exhibition process; this assessment should take two forms: firstly, ongoing assessment of each individual student’s contribution to and understanding of the exhibition; secondly, a summative assessment and reflection on the event itself.
