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.

C119: What key and related concepts live here?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I was provoked by ideas and questions by Yuni Santosa and Shailja Datt.
Yuni asked, ”Hmmm... is this the criteria based on the visible aspects (see and hear)? This made me think about how we are balancing what we put onto the walls into our daily practice that can be evidenced by learner behavior and thinking.
Shailja suggested, "Key concepts begin with and & then whether they are relevant, challenging and significant or not."
This provoked me to ask the question, "How do we make key and related concepts engaging, challenging, relevant, and significant for our learners?" In this episode we will explore how to use the inquiry thinking strategies to apply the meaning of the key and related concepts to the content.
Get ready for a big cerebral experience!
