# Introduction

{% hint style="info" %}
The information in this guide is intended to support teachers, PYP (Primary Years Programme) coordinators and school leadership as they plan and implement a comprehensive programme of inquiry that aligns with the enhanced PYP.
{% endhint %}

The first two sections, [IB approaches to teaching](/pyp-unit-planning/ib-approaches-to-teaching.md) and [Changes to the PYP planner and planning process](/pyp-unit-planning/changes-to-pyp-planner-and-planning-process.md) provide a snapshot of the IB philosophy and framework while the subsequent sections focus on specific aspects of unit planning. These ideals can be employed for planning instruction both within and outside of a school’s Programme of Inquiry.

As unit planning commences, the [Overview](/pyp-unit-planning/overview.md), [Reflecting and planning](/pyp-unit-planning/reflection-and-planning.md) and [Designing and implementing](/pyp-unit-planning/designing-and-implementing.md) sections will support building an intentional foundation upon which the unit will grow and evolve. Within each of these sections, there are different aspects of the unit to consider. These are intended to develop a holistic, yet flexible plan that can be responsive to student questions, needs and interests. 

The [Reflecting](/pyp-unit-planning/reflecting.md) section of this guidebook shares information to be completed during and after each iteration of the unit implementation. 

Finally, [Other considerations](/pyp-unit-planning/other-considerations.md) include frequently asked questions and some tips and tricks for enhancing and grounding units with an inquiry based approach while elevating student voice, choice and ownership.
