C150: Specialist and Supporting Teachers: Conceptual Understanding

Send us Fan MailHi friends, it’s Lu Gerlach from thinkchat, and today is a BIG one.Episode 150. One hundred and fifty episodes.  It's the longest episode to date.Can you believe it? Because honestly, I’m sitting here with a cup of tea and a full heart wondering how we got here.What started as a passion project for me with a microphone and a head full of ideas has become a place of connection. This learner-centered community has kept me going, so a big thank you.  It’s through your willingness that you come back with me, episode after episode.  I know this isn’t the traditional podcast with fancy music and guests.  It’s just me sharing my ideas about the world, but I hope it has helped you in your journey. For this very special milestone, I wanted to dive into something that continues to challenge, confuse, and inspire us: Conceptual Understanding — especially for specialist and supporting teachers.Let’s be honest: while homeroom teachers are often the focus of IB professional development, the incredible educators teaching music, PE, art, design, language support, special needs, counseling, and library are left trying to figure out, “Where do I fit in?”Well, this episode is for you. All of you.For a written blog post and other resources, visit:   https://thinkchat2020.comThanks for listening!  Please join the epic learning journey at lugerlach.comJoin our Confessions of a PYP Teacher Facebook Group!  Let's have some fun!
