4.5 out of 5 stars from 21 ratings
  • Interesting Education podcast

    Stumbled upon this by accident. Even if you don't work in education or fully understand the IB inside out, it's an interesting listen, as the content matter is made palatable for a wide audience. Perfect length for a podcast too! Recommended.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Enhancing the MYP Beta
Q: Can you share a concrete example of how the beta influenced classroom practice in a real unit?
A teacher redesigned a unit to embed community engagement by having students create toys for cats and collaborate with a local Amsterdam shelter, demonstrating authentic application of MYP concepts and a tangible connection to the community.
Enhancing the MYP Beta
Q: What shifts in leadership and coordination were necessary to support teachers during the trial?
The key shift was adopting a supportive, non-coercive approach, inviting voluntary participation, providing clear initial features, creating focus groups, and emphasizing small, intentional steps to build shared understanding and ownership.
Enhancing the MYP Beta
Q: What were teachers' initial reactions to the beta changes, and how did you support them through the transition?
Teachers were excited and engaged even before the official launch. We invited a small, strategic group to pilot aspects, provided clear guidance, and established dedicated focus groups to keep the process manageable and collaborative.
Enhancing the MYP Beta
Q: How did your school first become aware of the MYP Enhancement Beta Trial, and what context made participation feel timely?
We learned about the beta trial through official IB communications and discussions at Global IB Conferences, and the Dutch International Schools network helped frame it as a timely step aligned with our commitment to staying current with IB directions and inclusion.
L'architecture de l'excellence de l'IB: Leçons tirées sur le terrain
Q: Pourquoi, selon vous, est-il si critique que le leadership et la mission soient bien placés au centre de toute cette réflexion?
Parce que si les dirigeants ne sont pas convaincus que le IB est la meilleure chose pour leurs élèves et leur communauté, toutes les décisions risquent d'aller dans la mauvaise direction; un alignement fort entre la mission de l'établissement et celle du IB permet de guider les choix curriculaires et les stratégies d'implémentation avec cohérence.
