In our last episode, we spoke about how to find our focus as teachers, especially when we encounter uncertain times.\\xa0 One of the things that centers me is the Golden CIrcle by Simon Sinek. As we look towards making our WHY happen in our teaching, what are some practical things we can implement now to see a difference?\\xa0
One of the best tools I created while still in the classroom revolves around the terms: engaging, challenging, relevant, and significant.\\xa0 The PYP refers to these terms when thinking about inquiry and developing inquiry-based lessons. \\xa0
Like most teachers, I thought of them as isolated terms until one day my students asked to assess my lessons.\\xa0 At the time, I thought this was a bit cheeky for my students to ask to assess my brilliance, but these terms came to my mind instantly.\\xa0 Here is a brief definition:\\xa0
Engaging
Challenging
Relevant\\xa0
Significant
