Confessions of a PYP Teacher
This podcast is for any teacher who is seeking for ways to enrich the learning in their classroom without breaking the bank. We will explore the simple steps on how to turn the traditional learning experience into one founded on practices of the PYP in 10 to 20 minute episodes. The PYP is part of the International Baccalaureate program, which focuses on developing the whole child by allowing students to create their own meaning from learning. If you’re not a PYP teacher, don’t worry. We’ll be sharing ideas that can be applied to your learning setting, because good practice can be used anywhere. https://thinkchat2020.weebly.com/podcast

To empathize means different things to different people. It’s not a one size fits all, which is a huge lesson I learned being a PYP Coordinator. The things that resonated with me did not for the majority of my staff due to cultural differences, learning experiences, and background knowledge. So how do we build a culture of empathy within our schools, so we can move the work forward?
Here are some resources to support empathy development
