The IB Approach to Teaching History with Vikas Pahwa

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of we take a close look at the DP History course, one of the key aspects of any Diploma student’s experience in the IB. Our guest is Vikas Pahwa who is an experienced DP History teacher in the city of Gurgaon, India. What I loved about this conversation was the universality of the DP History approach he describes. I felt like I was talking to one of the teachers in my own school because the IB History approach can be applied in any geographical or societal context. It truly is international.  Books referenced by Vikas:Geographic Pivot of History - Sir Halford MackinderPower of Geography - Tim MarshallFrom Silk to Silicon - Jeffrey GartenLinks:Helpful websites:Theoryofknowledge.net Activehistory Johndclare.netSchoolhistoryIchistory.comHistory.comThe IB website History pageIB Matters Web PageEmail IB Matters: [email protected] (IB_Matters)Twitter @MattersIBIB Matters websiteMN Association of IB World Schools (MNIB) websiteDonate to IB MattersPodcast: Education by Design with host Phil EvansIB Matters T-shirts (and other MNIB clothing) To appear on the podcast or if you would like to sponsor the podcast, please contact us at the email above.
