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

C83 (Overview): How Do We Create a Prototype?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A prototype is a model of something that we want to test or try out. In the PYP, our prototype is our unit of inquiry planner. We create a planning tool that ties all of the elements together with the singular purpose to connect to the transdisciplinary theme, central idea, and lines of inquiry. The other elements and content provide context for exploration.
To make this come to life, we model various processes for our learners and our peers. This can come in the form of a think aloud using the Approaches to Learning (ATLs) and the MYP Command Terms.
Join this episode to learn more about how to create a prototype through the design thinking process.
