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

C101: The Properties of a Local Inquiry
Welcome to our new series on local and global inquiry. After the book club on “Getting Personal with Inquiry Learning” by Kath Murdoch, I wanted to extend my thinking towards making local and global connections to our inquiry. This seemed like the natural next step.
When I think of local inquiry, my mind immediately shifts towards place-based learning. There are numerous definitions of what it is. I have two favorites from Edutopia and University of Liggett School: Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning.
Let's enjoy this experience of exploring the properties of local inquiry.
