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

C64: Split-Screen Teaching with ATLs and Learner Profile
You’ve chosen your ATLs and now comes the part of breaking them down into bite-size pieces, so your learners can apply them on a daily basis. I’m not going to lie, I used to struggle so much with this part, because these skills often felt insurmountable. When that happens, we tend to bury them like a stinky fish in the back of a closet. Over time, the fish will decay and the stench becomes so extreme that we have to pull it out and deal with it.
What would you say if I could take your ATL stinky fish and make it a simple meal that was delectable and easy to make? Would you try it?
