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.

C99 (Book Club): Reflecting on the Process & Taking Action
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After this book study, I decided to try something different. Instead of picking random goals for my action plan, I pulled quotes from each week and partnered them with the enhanced PYP types of action: participation, advocacy, social justice, social entrepreneurship, and lifestyle choices. I chose 3 or sometimes more quotes that resonated with me and placed them in a column. At the end, I created a menu of options. My next task is to choose ONE goal from each column to work on this school year.
Now, let’s go through the process together and you choose which one resonates with you. To be honest, it might be easier to read the blog post for this one, but we’re still gonna try it out! I’d have paper and pencil ready too.
