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

C109: Local and Global Inquiry in the Early Years
As I finish this series on local and global inquiry, I couldn’t forget my early years friends. Oftentimes, there are many strategies presented that are beyond the scope of what our little people can do. I wanted to honor your special role in making learning come alive too.
In connection to the Crafting Inquiry conference, I was inspired by the ideas of Kimberly Mitchell about asking deeper questions with our learners. She posed this question that made me think.
Wondering: What gets in the way of students (and teachers) from asking questions?
Kimberly gave some concrete reasons for why educators do not ask a wider range of questions. I’d like to explore further and apply them to making local and global connections.
