Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be. True, there are some people who can bridge that gap easily, on their own, but all of us need a little help at some point. A little boost. An accountability partner. A Snooze Squad. In each episode, the Snooze Squad will strategize an action plan for people to face their fears. Guests will transform their own perception of their potential and walk away a few inches closer to who they want to become ...

In this episode I am speaking with Brad Philpot. Brad is an English teacher in Frankfurt but is best known for his brilliant range of textbooks and instructional courses for teaching the IBDP. Brad is someone who has worked within IB education for a long time, holding numerous roles, affording him a massive amount of experience and knowhow when it comes to English instruction and curriculum design.
We discuss:
- The best book he’s ever read, taught or learnt whilst at school
- How Brad feels about the most recent changes to the DP course, and the IO or HLE in particular
- Why he chose to set up the most recent textbook s thematically
- The texts he teaches in the new course
- When and how the likes of Areas of Exploration, Key Concepts and Global Issues play a part in his curriculum
- How the Learner Portfolio been implemented in Brad’s classes
- And finally, the element of the English A course he enjoys most and one thing he’d change if he could
Brad offered up a variety of insights in this conversation that I’m already looking to implement into my own practice. This was really a refreshing blend of pragmatism and idealism around the many demands made of teachers by the IB.
