ATL Chart

There are many ways a school may choose to create their ATL planning chart.

An ATL planning chart is part of the documentation of the written curriculum required for programme evaluation. (For programme authorization, schools must demonstrate that they have begun ATL planning.) A chart is a tabular presentation of information, and it may take many forms. This chart’s purpose is to provide evidence for the vertical articulation of ATL skills across the years of the programme. Along the course of a school’s MYP journey, the ATL chart may be developed in many ways. Over time, the chart may become more detailed and comprehensive. The chart may instead reflect the school’s current emphasis and work plans in terms of ATL skills development.

To learn about different examples, visit the IB's "Further guidance for developing ATL in the MYP".

• Common approaches include organising your chart:

  • by skill cluster

  • by subject

  • by grade level

  • to see skills taught in units, as well as skills taught elsewhere, (for example, through advisory/homeroom)
