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.

Hey friends, welcome back to another episode of Confessions of a PYP Teacher. I'm Lu Gerlach with thinkchat.
This is Confession 169, where we look at John Dewey's Experience and Education and dig into chapter two: The Need of a Theory of Experience. This is the third episode in this book club series, as I'm trying to unpack the ideas of John Dewey and think about the implications for today's educational landscape.
This episode will explore the difference between experience and education and how they show up in traditional and progressive schools. We will lean into what Dewey has to say and how they might reflect our current classrooms.
