The MYP Individuals & Societies with Novadene Miller
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we talk to Novadene Miller who teaches at Institut International Lancy in Geneva, Switzerland - teaching IB DP Geography and IGCSE Geography.
Our discussion centers on how the MYP framework specifically addresses the Individuals and Societies subject area. While it has examples from one subject, it serves as an example of how the MYP approach makes any subject more enriching for both the students and the teachers.
Novadene gives several examples of how her students are given the freedom to inquire and take action beyond the curriculum when operating in an MYP classroom. Be sure to check out her links below to see her published articles and resources she has used with her students.
