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.

C145: Specialist and Supporting Teachers: Leaning into the Learner Profile
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome to the eighth episode of our specialist and supporting teachers series. We are going to spend our time unpacking the learner profile in a new way. Oftentimes, the learner profile are reduced as a way to connect with behavior and they are much more than that.
As specialist and supporting teachers you have a possibility to use the learner profile as a set of skills that create a learning disposition in your classes. It won’t take too much planning, but it requires you to have them in your mind while you plan. I hope that makes sense.
Let's get cracking and have some fun!
