Interdisciplinary Thinking for Schools: Ethical Dilemmas MYP 4 & 5 by Dr Meredith J Harbord

Interdisciplinary Thinking for Schools: Ethical Dilemmas MYP 4 & 5 continues on from Interdisciplinary Thinking for Schools: Ethical Dilemmas MYP 1, 2 & 3 and like the first book it is not your average textbook resource. Innovative ethical design projects illustrated with spectacular artwork will connect students to exciting and purposeful learning. Rich primary research includes interviews with the following visionaries: Alberto Alessi, Astronomer Royal Martin Rees, Dr. Jane Goodall, Jared Della Valle and the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation.

Our strategies support the growth of an innovative and student-centered curriculum to generate real world, sustainable solutions to problems in keeping with the IB MYP philosophy. The authors Dr. Meredith J Harbord and Sara Riaz Khan, are two experienced MYP design teachers whose approach advocates respect for oneself, the community and the world.
