Design Integration Plan/Schedule
Students are required to go through a minimum of 50 hours of work in MYP Design. As we plan our Design Integration units with teachers, we strive to provide our students with as much class and hands-on time as we possibly can. When we meet with colleagues in our grade levels, we plan potential areas of collaboration and list down the meeting times in our Design Integration calendar.
Below is a live schedule of our current integration plan for 2016-2017 for Grades 6, 7, and 8 (MYP Years 1, 2, and 3).

MYP Design Integration Calendar Plan for 2016-2017
MYP Requirements
The MYP requires at least 50 hours of teaching time for each subject area in each year of the programme.
The MYP requires that all Design assessment criteria (and each strand of each criteria) are covered at least twice over the course of a school year.
Design is enriched through collaboration with other subject teachers.
The MYP Design Key and Related Concepts
- As a Design Team for CI Middle School, we plan our projects at the beginning of the school year and publish them for the CIMS Faculty.
- As needed, we adjust our time (hours) to ensure we hit at least the minimum Design teaching student contact hours.
The MYP requires that all Design assessment criteria (and each strand of each criteria) are covered at least twice over the course of a school year.
- As a Design Team for CI Middle School, we plan our projects with other subject teachers and choose the appropriate criteria and strands to assess for each project.
- We align the projects with ideas generated in collaboration with the subject teacher since we are assessing one project in reference to different subjects (i.e., Design and Math) and in reference to each subject's specific criteria.
Design is enriched through collaboration with other subject teachers.
- As a Design Team for CI Middle School, we plan our projects with other subject teachers.
- We hold several meetings where we share and brainstorm on ideas for the projects.
- We work in the subject teacher's classroom with students from introduction of a task to its completion.
- We utilize the Design Spaces (Rooms C-204 and C-205) if students need the space and equipment in the rooms.
The MYP Design Key and Related Concepts
- All Design Subject units and tasks are published on Managebac for students, parents, and teachers.
- Each Design Subject unit has specific Key and Related Concepts that Design Teachers review with other subject teachers through the collaboration meetings.
