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.

Welcome back to Confessions of a PYP Teacher and the sixth episode in our well-being series.
It’s been interesting going through this well-being series, because it has really stretched my thinking about how we are supporting our own mental health and that of our learners. As I was unpacking panic, it really hit home to me. Although I don’t have regular panic attacks, I do experience acute moments of panic that cause me to worry and to become fearful. I usually find that these moments come when I feel out of control and do not have a sense of ownership over what is happening to me.
With this idea in mind, I want to explore how this process can regularly happen within a classroom setting. We explore simple strategies that make a huge impact for our learners and others within our learning community.
