ATL framework? No
Do schools have to provide documentary evidence of horizontal articulation of ATL
skills? No, but schools must be able to identify resources for and commitment to
collaborative planning that includes opportunities for both horizontal and vertical
articulation of the curriculum.
Robust horizontal articulation (year-level planning across subject groups) will include

Criterion command terms give clear pointers to the ATL Skills descriptors
at increasing levels of complexity across the years
As a student moves through the MYP years, he or she needs to call upon the
ATL skills to engage in tasks of increasing complexity. In Sciences, for instance,
the complexity can be identified when we juxtapose Blooms taxonomy with
our command terms.

Many ATL skills remain the same throughout the MYP years but the
complexity in which the skill is practiced increases as defined by the
command terms, the learning experiences and the summative task(s).
ATL skills need to be defined in the ATL section of the Unit Planner by
Category, Cluster and specific skills Practices in order to specify the level
of complexity of use of each skill.
The Learning Process in the ACTION section must define how the ATL

Teachers will:
Focus on developing the ATL skills needed to learn the subject matter
efficiently and effectively
Maintain a dual focus on what needs to be learned and how it is learned
Pose questions, outline problems, set challenges, give clear measurable
objectives
Enable students to connect with subject-based resources
Facilitate the students journeys
Post the objective strand, the ATL skill and the learning
experience on chart paper on the wall.
