Send us a text

Returning guest Novadene Miller is a skilled and motivational teacher. She draws from her experience earning a doctorate in Geology to bring multiple perspectives and resources to the classroom.  In this episode she shares how her Humanities students build cross-disciplinary skills like critical thinking, collaborative skills, and research skills while engaging in many different activities both in and out of the classroom. She also talks about the many resources that can be used beyond the typical books and internet searches so often relied upon.

Each example shows how the IB framework gives her students the space to inquire and be curious about the world around them and to give voice and value to their own ideas.
