tři učitelky

tři učitelky is a Czech education podcast for teachers who want pedagogy kept close to the ground. Its recent run centers on key competencies in the RVP, but the show rarely stays in policy language for long. The speakers discuss official phrasing, worry over what it misses, and then translate it into children, lessons, school routines, and staffroom decisions. That movement gives the show its shape. It starts with a concept, tests the wording, admits uncertainty, and looks for a usable classroom image. Cultural competence becomes a conversation about art as a way of knowing, holidays, cultural diversity, clothing, fashion, upcycling, and the difference between comparison and tolerance. Creativity is framed through the familiar Sir Ken Robinson question, then brought back to personal experience: making something, solving a problem, feeling room to try an idea. Problem-solving competence becomes source choice, weather information, propaganda, Google Translate, better dictionaries, vocabulary building, and project days where pupils can carry more of the planning themselves. Entrepreneurship and work competence is not treated as a business slogan. It shows up in children proposing changes, arranging conditions, mobilizing resources, learning to ask people for help, and becoming responsible for a shared result. The episode on meetings widens the lens from classroom practice to school culture. It asks what belongs in a meeting, what should be sent by email, how online access and written records help absent colleagues, and how teams can leave with clearer next steps. The tone is brisk and companionable. The speakers can be critical of formulations, but they usually use criticism to make the idea more workable. They also fold in listener comments, bonus materials, workshop reflections, and occasional cultural recommendations, without losing the teacher-to-teacher center of the show. The result is not polished consultancy language. It feels more like thoughtful practitioners doing the slow work of making educational ideals usable.
