Lu Gerlach Season 1 Episode 32

Welcome to our application series! What is the application series?  It’s a time to reflect on all of the learning we have shared so far, reflect on our practice, and make concrete goals for the future. 

Application and reflection are at the heart of the PYP.  They help us to see where we’ve come and where we need to still go on our journey. It’s important for us to own our truth and not compare our journey to someone else’s.  We don’t see their challenges, just their successes.  Remember that as you apply your learning. 

Our first few episodes began with an inquiry challenge that focused on our role and needs as an educator.  This was a fun way to evaluate our journey so far and set the stage for new learning ahead.  This helped to lay the foundation to learn about agency, action, the learner profile attributes, and international mindedness.
