 * IB PYP planner on Google docs**

In response to requests from schools, the IB Primary Years Programme planner is now available as a template on Google docs. The PYP planner template on Google docs is available in English, Spanish, and French and can be accessed using the links below:


 * In English: @http://bit.ly/PYPplannerEng
 * In French: @http://bit.ly/PlandetravailduPP
 * In Spanish: @http://bit.ly/PlanificadordelPEP

To use the PYP planner template on Google docs, open the document by clicking on the link above and making a copy using the command “File” then “Make a copy” on Google docs. PYP schools wanting to use the Google docs template may need to sign-up for a Google account.

The IB would be interested in hearing about your experience using this Google docs template. Please email any feedback to: pyp.curriculum@ibo.org.

Useful in showing a collaborative team at work.

We found that teachers were unclear of how to fill out a PYP planner, what goes where etc. We had an afternoon with our staff on how to fill it in. This is the keynote we used. Feel free to use/give feedback/offer improvements.
