Confessions of a PYP TeacherAuthor: Lu Gerlach
This podcast is for anyone who is seeking ways to design learning that promotes learner independence. It began as a passion project to help teachers during the pandemic and has transformed how I look at learning within my practice. Each episode is 15 to 30 minutes long with thoughtful ideas and some tips to apply back to your practice. The episodes are largely based on the IB Primary Years Programme, but good teaching is for everyone. Even if you are teaching in a different type of program or government school, you can easily adapt the ideas to your learning context. It just requires a bit of creativity and open-mindedness.

Today, I'm focusing on chapter one of Experience and Education by John Dewey, which is the second episode in the series. This chapter focuses on traditional versus progressive education.Just a reminder: this text was originally written in 1938. Ninety years ago, my friends. It's really interesting. As I was reading through this chapter, I found lots of tidbits that made me pause to think about the argument for traditional versus progressive education.Thanks for listening!
