C138: Specialist and Supporting Teachers: Myths about our Roles

Send us a textWelcome to our new series about specialist and supporting teachers.  I have been thinking a lot about this series over the past couple months, especially during a visit to Le Jardin Academy in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii.  I had a candid chat with the specialist team and it made me think that other specialist and supporting teachers might appreciate the same guidance. This episode, we will review some of the common misconceptions about the role of the specialist and supporting teachers within our schools.  We will begin to discuss how we might support their roles, so they feel more part of the planning and teaching process. I want to clarify that these ideas are my personal opinion and not necessarily of the IB.  You need to confirm everything with your IB consultant and IB world school manager.  This is based on my experiences alone.  For a written blog post and other resources, visit:   https://thinkchat2020.weebly.comThanks for listening!
