In this episode, I chat with Charlie Huynh, Director of Teaching and Learning for OneSchool Global’s North American region, about building a Learning to Learn framework that helps students take full accountability for their own learning. You’ll also hear how extended learning programs like the Perfect Pitch Competition connect students across borders, how families and community members are woven in as authentic audiences, and how thoughtful curriculum design keeps both consistency and local flexibility in play. If you want ideas for scaling collaboration, embedding inclusivity, and giving students a real-world “why” for their learning, this episode has you covered!

Tips for Teaching Across Time Zones & Connecting Classrooms
- Scaffolding collaboration, communication, planning, and reflection skills in primary grades prepares students to transfer those skills into real-world contexts.
- Hands-on projects and tasks help students apply learning and retain it longer than traditional textbooks and worksheets.
- Extended learning programs like Perfect Pitch, give students an authentic stage to apply what they have learned beyond the classroom.
- Stakeholder engagement with parents, grandparents, graduates, and community members creates authentic audiences that deepen student buy-in and ownership.
