How does technology affect how we live? MYP What is MYP?   MYP stands for Middle Years Programme. It’s the same thing as the IB or International Baccalaureate program at Commack High School. There are many things that we do as an MYP school. Here are two of them. First of all, we encourage all of our students to show the IB Learner Profile Traits in school. They are: Inquirers Knowledgeable Critical thinker Communicators Risk-takers Principled Caring Open-minded Well-balanced Reflective Another thing we do in our MYP school is we use Unit Questions to guide our learning. For example, the first Unit Question for Social Studies is: How does technology affect how we live? We will continue to discuss this question throughout this unit of study.
