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
Confessions of a PYP Teacher
C48: Thinking Skills for Early Years (PK-K)
Welcome to this episode my early years friends. I’ve long thought about how to create for you my early years teachers. I think going forward, we are going to need to adapt the learning for you, since we are getting past some of the ideas that are applicable to any age level.
As a PYP Coordinator, I’ve come to truly appreciate the amazing things you accomplish in the early years. It’s quite remarkable. You lay the foundation so all other understanding can happen and many people don’t realize the scale of impact you truly create.
In this episode, we are going to examine the ATL thinking skills from your viewpoint. We will refer to PYP From Principles into Practice: The Learner from pages 15-19.
