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.

C147: Specialist and Supporting Teachers: Seeking Ways to Show International Mindedness
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome to the tenth episode of our specialist and supporting teachers series. Today, we are focusing on bringing about more international mindedness in your classrooms with authenticity.
There are so many possibilities of exploration with the focus of international mindedness. One of the most common might be to embody an international mindset by exploring new ideas, meeting new people, being open to new experiences, and traveling. Although this is opening ourselves to the world, this is not authentic international mindedness.
Instead, we are talking about opening our minds to different experiences that bring about intercultural connections of understanding. This is going to mean something different for every person based on their unique backgrounds and exposure to other people’s ideas. I guess that is the point. Are we open enough to listen to other people’s ideas and be willing to change our own.
Let's explore these ideas together in this episode!
