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
Confessions of a PYP Teacher
C118: How are our walls interactive and transdisciplinary?
Greetings friends! Welcome to another week of our PYP Classroom Success Criteria podcast series! We are going to have a lot of fun exploring interactive walls that are transdisciplinary.
More talk about the walls? Yep. They are the most underutilized teaching tool that we have at our disposal, so let’s talk about ways that we can use them better.
This episode was sparked by a question by our old friend, Shailja Datt, the PYP Coordinator at the Horizon Japan International School in Kanagawa.
Shailja asked: Are the walls interactive?
A couple episodes ago, we talked about interactive bulletin boards as a teaching tool. But this time, we are going to examine how we can use them to build deeper connections.
Meanwhile, our friend Nirali Parikh, a transitional kindergarten teacher, at the Creation Village World School in Celebration, Florida posed a simple question.
Nirali asked: Is it transdisciplinary?
The bigger question should be, how do we create walls that are interactive and transdisciplinary?
This episode will focus on answering this big question! Join us!
