Notes and Resources for ATL Function Training

“What is Approaches to Learning (ATL) and how can it be implemented in real-world classrooms?”
The one strategy book that answers that question: ATL developer Lance King's practical solutions.

Beyond the transmission of knowledge, the focus of education is now shifting to ‘learning how to learn.’
Approaches to Learning (ATL), proposed by the International Baccalaureate (IB), is an instructional design framework that connects classroom learning to specific competencies amidst these changes.

ATL presents a systematic learning approach that teaches students the "language of learning" and helps them think and explore independently.
The "Teacher's Guide to Approaches to Learning" is an educational guide that translates ATL's philosophy into classroom practice and guides teachers and students to work together to build a "toolbox of competencies" for the future.

A practical guide written directly by the ATL framework developers.

This book is written by educator Lance G. King, who designed and developed the ATL framework for the IB MYP program.
This is the only ATL teacher's guidebook officially translated and published in Korea, written by King, who has accumulated over 30 years of field experience and research.

His framework is currently used in more than 5,700 IB schools in 160 countries, and this book builds on that experience by providing immediately applicable design principles and teaching strategies to help teachers explicitly teach and develop the "core competencies" in their classrooms.

A Concrete ATL Implementation Guide for Classroom Transformation

Chapters 1-3: The Need for ATL and Summary of 14 Core Functions

Chapters 4-6: Presentation of practical strategies centered on emotional, metacognitive, and cognitive functions.
Includes examples of classroom activities that teach mindfulness, resilience, self-assessment, time management, and other specific teaching tools, including charts and worksheets.

Chapter 7: Guide to Designing ATL Programs for Schools and Classes

Chapter 8: The Changing Role of Teachers in the AI ​​Era and Proposals for Teaching Methods for Developing Self-Managed Learners

In particular, chapters 4 to 6 organically organize activities and teaching tools that can be immediately applied to actual classes, reflecting the needs of teachers in the field.
This clearly shows that the book focuses on 'how teachers can integrate ATL into their classes' rather than 'what is ATL'.

Additionally, Chapter 7 presents step-by-step tasks and implementation procedures so that teachers can design ATL function programs that fit their own classroom environments, thereby helping teachers actively participate in the ATL program design process.

Beyond imparting knowledge, education cultivates future capabilities!

"A Teacher's Guide to Approaches to Learning" is a practical educational innovation guide that guides the transition to a classroom where students learn and think independently. It provides clear, reliable, and practical solutions for teachers seeking to implement ATL into their classrooms.
