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

C21: Learner Profile First Steps
The learner profile attributes are one of the tools you can use to get students to make transdisciplinary connections with your content. In this episode, we will look at the ways to maximize the attributes in your daily practice.
- Unpack the attributes by connecting the attribute descriptor with the concepts in the transdisciplinary theme and content.
- Use the wall of fame to frame practical understanding of individuals who emulate the attribute of focus.
- Create learning goals based on the attributes and allow students to drive this process.
- Reflect regularly on learning through the lens of the attributes.
There are endless ways to use the learner profile attributes in your daily teaching practice. For a written blog post and other resources, visit: https://thinkchat2020.weebly.com/
