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

C65: Using Split-Screen Teaching to Spark Learning Goals
Once you have a solid understanding and use of split-screen teaching, you will be prepared to turn the ownership to your learners. Our ultimate goal with the PYP and a part of good teaching practice is developing learner independence. We can use split-screen teaching to support this process by having learners create their own goals by using the ATL sub-skills as their success criteria.
A success criteria is a set of goals we want learners to engage with that will lead toward achievement and mastery. Some success criteria can focus on year long goals, while others can be for a unit of inquiry. This is up to you and your learners.
For this episode, I will focus on how to make learning goals while using the ATLs as a success criteria for a single unit. This will be easier to do at first, then you can lengthen your goals accordingly.
