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

C102: Going from a Content Standard to a Local Issue
In the last episode, we ended with the idea of connecting our local issue to our curriculum and standards. So, I’d like to dedicate this episode to examining possible ways to explore this. I am providing some tips, but you and your team must decide what best fits for your school and learners. I love challenging myself in creating curriculum connections that are not so blatant or that we haven’t seen. Isn’t this the purpose of inquiry? See, you are making deeper connections already!
Oftentimes, we create curriculum that is segmented by subject areas, even if we are not intentional about it. It just happens. Here’s something to consider when looking at your curriculum. We will examine one content standard, so you can truly examine how it’s being explored deeper and where you can connect to other content that you must teach.
