Confessions of a PYP Teacher
This podcast is for anyone who is seeking ways to design learning that promotes learner independence. It began as a passion project to help teachers during the pandemic and has transformed how I look at learning within my practice. Each episode is 15 to 30 minutes long with thoughtful ideas and some tips to apply back to your practice. The episodes are largely based on the IB Primary Years Programme, but good teaching is for everyone. Even if you are teaching in a different type of program or government school, you can easily adapt the ideas to your learning context. It just requires a bit of creativity and open-mindedness. Happy Listening! For more ideas, visit lugerlach.com.

C84 (Challenge):- Creating a Prototype with the CME Model from Pop-Up Studio
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As I was considering this challenge, I reflected on the CME model from Pop-Up Studio: Responsive Teaching for Today’s Learners by Misty Paterson. This has been my latest book club read, but more importantly my aha text. Going through the book club experience with this text opened up so many possibilities of how to use these ideas in a variety of ways. Isn’t that the purpose of a prototype? It’s a tool we use to try out our ideas, so we can evolve our practice.
The CME model was designed with “see me” in mind, so “we intentionally see the person within the learning engagement…We can see personal interests, understandings, wonderings, creativity, thinking, and agency surface.” (Paterson, 2021)
So what exactly is the CME model? It’s a construct that helps learners to look at the interplay of using concepts to connect learning experiences with materials. That sounds very simple, but it’s quite powerful.
In this episode, we will explore how to create a prototype with the CME model with in our unit of inquiry.
