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

C146: Specialist and Supporting Teachers: Learner Profile 2.0
Welcome to the ninth episode of our specialist and supporting teachers series. I’m super excited to talk more about the learner profile attributes. This is one of the most underused tools alongside the approaches to learning in the IB programmes. This is a bold statement to say, I know.
I’m just tired of people using the learner profile attributes as character traits. They are SKILLS required to create a DISPOSITION.
More than ever, we need young people who know how to think, feel, and act. The only way that we will get them there is by using the language of the learner profile in our practice everyday. You heard me, every single day.
Take a listen to one of my shortest, but equally powerful episodes of how to make the learner profile work for you as a specialist and supporting teacher.
