Educators
Since participating in the Project Slice Workshop, I've
been thinking about ways to support the school and district leaders I serve, mentor, and coach across the region in implementing PBL. I have been following up and reaching out to them, encouraging them, and trying to fuel their excitement and leadership capacity around PBL.
-Jessica Turner, Project Slice Workshop
Having been trained with PBLWorks several years ago as a teacher, I wanted to sharpen my PBL knowledge and skills as a leader to effectively implement PBL initiatives at a larger scale next year in my school community.
- Joshua Rhodes, KY PBL SLN - Cohort 1
After participating in the PBL 101 workshop,
I became more intentional about the activities and projects I do with my students. I find myself asking, how can we go beyond the standard, connect to a big idea and respond to a larger question?
