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

C29: Connecting Agency with International Mindedness
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.
