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.

C29: Connecting Agency with International Mindedness
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Now that we’ve received some ways to incorporate international mindedness into our daily practice, how will we use them? Let’s go back to our agency continuum to gauge where we are in the process.
As a reminder, the agency continuum has four phases:
- Teacher-driven: teacher is doing all the work and thinking
- Modeled: teacher provides all of the activities and the students do it
- Guided: the teacher provides the topic and the students design the process and product
- Learner-driven: the learner chooses the topic and decides on the process and product
In this episode, we will take a few moments to think where we are and where we'd like to be with international mindedness. We will examine different ways we can demonstrate agency when developing international mindedness and make goals for the next phase of the school year.
