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
C119: What key and related concepts live here?
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!
