Kirsten is the PYP coordinator at Matoska International School, a public school in the White Bear Lake school district near St. Paul, MN. Kirsten explains how the learning for PYP students is conceptual and contextual with examples of how students and teachers approach teaching and learning in her PYP school. We hear how local standards are brought to life when teachers break down the pre-written curriculum and help young students see the connections between traditional subjects in a trans-disciplinary way.More information about the PYP can be found on the IB website or on our MNIB website.Email IB Matters: [email protected] (IB_Matters) Twitter @MattersIBIB Matters websiteMN Association of IB World Schools (MNIB) websiteDonate to IB Matters Podcast: Education by Design with host Phil Evans IB 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.
