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

C70: Designing for Learners with Disabilities
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The practices we have shared in the past two episodes apply to all learners. Some will be overstimulated, while others will be underwhelmed. No child fits into one specific category, which was part of my apprehension in separating the students into designation groups.
At the same time, I believe there are some things we can put into place that will support a student with disabilities. As we know, there is not one size fits all, because there are varying degrees of needs that a student might have.
How does your learning environment support the needs of your learners with disabilities? Are you giving them equal access to the curriculum?
