PBL Leadership - Professional Development Plan | E99
Ryan answers the question of how to bring Project Based Learning into your school or district in a sustainable way. PBL should be integrated in a way that creates excitement and long-term success. It starts with personal development for every leader.
Episode Highlights:
[05:10] "Need to know": Are actual problems more successful than hypothetical problems? Which one is the more effective question?
[12:18] Every PBL leader needs three forms of personal development. #1 YOU need to have professional development around Project Based Learning.
[14:27] #2 Is to have a PBL team, or core team, or leadership team. A core group of facilitators that can model and advocate for PBL.
[17:16] #3 is the whole staff. You need to start with the "why" and the passion. Start with a passionate idea, show what PBL can do, and have a 3-4 year plan, and you will get a group of first followers.
