Let’s learn about these insights in detail.
School insights
The School insights page gives you a school-wide view of curriculum coverage. It displays insight cards for Approaches to Learning, Global Contexts, Learner profile attributes, and any custom datasets enabled for planning insights.
Approaches to learning
The Approaches to learning (ATL) table shows how ATL skills are distributed across all MYP years.
Rows represent ATL skill categories and their sub-skills Columns represent MYP years (MYP 1–5) plus a Total courses column showing unique coverage across the programme Use the toggle at the top of the table to switch between count modes:
Course count: how many courses include each skill Unit count: how many units include each skill Task count: how many assessments and learning experiences address each skill Use the following controls:
Use the search bar to find a specific ATL skill. Click any count to open a pop-up listing the contributing units or tasks. Expand any ATL skill row to view its sub-skills. Use Configure columns to show or hide specific MYP year columns. To explore other school-level insights, use the dropdown next to the section title.
Global contexts
The Global contexts table shows how the 6 MYP Global Contexts are distributed across all MYP years.
Rows represent the 6 Global Contexts Columns represent MYP years (MYP 1–5) plus a total count column Use the toggle to switch between Course count and Unit count. Use the search bar to find a specific Global Context.
Click any count to view the contributing courses or units.
Learner profile attributes are tracked in the same way as ATL skills: the table shows a course count, unit count, and task count across all MYP years. Click any count to view the contributing courses, units, or tasks.
Note: Custom datasets appear in the dropdown alongside Global contexts and follow the same view, showing a course count and unit count only. Task counts are not available for custom datasets. Custom datasets must be enabled by a school administrator and included in planning insights calculation.
View by department
View by department lets coordinators and department heads analyze how a specific subject group addresses curriculum elements across all MYP years. The landing page displays all subject groups as cards. Click any card to open the detailed view for that department.
The tabs available at the top of the department view are:
Learner profile attributes Unit
The Unit tab shows all units within the selected department across all MYP years. The left panel lists all grade levels and courses within the department. The main table displays one row per unit with its full set of template fields, including any custom fields your school has added.
Use the following controls:
Use the search bar to find a unit by keywords. Use Filters to narrow units by subject or grade. Use Sort to sort classes and units alphabetically, by created date, or by last modified date. You can also choose to apply your sorting preference across all unit insight views. Use Configure columns to show or hide and reorder unit information. Click any unit title to open the full unit planner.
Note: To explore insights for other departments, use the dropdown next to the department title to switch departments.
Programme of Inquiry
The Programme of Inquiry tab provides a snapshot of how units are planned across IB-defined Global Contexts for each course within the department.
Rows represent courses in the department Columns represent the 6 MYP Global Contexts Each cell shows the units planned under that Global Context for the course, along with the number of weeks allocated You can expand any cell to see detailed information for each unit, including the Statement of Inquiry, Key Concepts, and Related Concepts. Click any unit name to open the full unit page.
Standards
The Standards tab provides visibility into how subject-specific standards are addressed across grades through courses, units, and class tasks. The left panel lists all subjects within the department. Use it to switch between subjects and view the standards specific to each one. Rows represent individual subject standards.
For each standard or sub-standard, you can track:
Associated courses: the number of courses that address the standard Associated units: the number of units aligned to the standard Tasks planned: the count of draft assessments not yet assigned to students Tasks taught: the count of assessments assigned to students Use the search bar to find a specific standard. Use Configure columns to show or hide or reorder information in the table.
Approaches to learning
The Approaches to learning tab shows ATL skill distribution within the department across MYP years.
ATL skills appear as rows; MYP years appear as columns Use the toggle to switch between course count, unit count, and task count Use Filters to narrow results by subject within the department Click any count to view the contributing units or tasks Global contexts
The Global contexts tab shows how the 6 MYP Global Contexts are addressed across the department’s units.
Rows represent the 6 MYP Global Contexts Columns represent MYP years Each cell shows the course count or unit count for that Global Context in that year Use Filters to narrow by subject within the department. Use the toggle to switch between Course count and Unit count. Click any count to view the contributing courses or units.
Related Concepts

Rows represent Related Concepts for the selected subject Columns represent MYP years Each cell shows the course count, unit count, or task count for that concept in that year Use the toggle to switch between count modes. Click any count to view the contributing courses, units, or tasks.
Key concepts are tracked in the same way as ATL skills: each concept shows a course count, unit count, and task count across MYP years. Use Filters to narrow by subject within the department. Learner profile attributes follow the same structure. Objectives are tracked in the same way as Related Concepts: use the sidebar to switch between subjects within the department to view the objectives specific to each subject.
Note: Custom datasets follow the same view as Global contexts, showing a course count and unit count only. Task counts are not available for custom datasets. Custom datasets must be enabled by a school administrator and included in planning insight calculations.
View by grade

The Unit tab shows all units planned at the selected MYP year across all subject groups. The left panel lists all subject groups and their courses at the selected grade level.
Use the following controls:
Use the search bar to find a unit by keywords. Use Filters to narrow units by subject or grade. Use Sort to sort classes and units alphabetically, by created date, or by last modified date. You can also apply your sorting preference across all unit insight views. Use Configure columns to show or hide and reorder unit information. Click any unit title to open the full unit planner.
Note: To explore other grade-level insights, use the dropdown next to the grade title to switch MYP years.
Standards
The Standards tab provides visibility into how subject-specific standards are addressed at the selected MYP year. Use the left sidebar to switch between standard sets for different subject groups. Rows represent individual subject standards.
