C147: Specialist and Supporting Teachers: Seeking Ways to Show International Mindedness

Send us Fan MailWelcome to the tenth episode of our specialist and supporting teachers series.  Today, we are focusing on bringing about more international mindedness in your classrooms with authenticity. There are so many possibilities of exploration with the focus of international mindedness.  One of the most common might be to embody an international mindset by exploring new ideas, meeting new people, being open to new experiences, and traveling.  Although this is opening ourselves to the world, this is not authentic international mindedness. Instead, we are talking about opening our minds to different experiences that bring about intercultural connections of understanding.  This is going to mean something different for every person based on their unique backgrounds and exposure to other people’s ideas.  I guess that is the point.  Are we open enough to listen to other people’s ideas and be willing to change our own. Let's explore these ideas together in this episode!Thanks for listening!  Please join the epic learning journey at lugerlach.comJoin our Confessions of a PYP Teacher Facebook Group!  Let's have some fun!
