In this episode, Josh and Andrea continue their series focusing on administrators in PBL, addressing the question, “What does it look like for an administrator to be supportive in their role when they have teachers using PBL as their primary instructional practice?” This episode features an interview with Dr. Carmen Coleman, the Chief Academic Officer of Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, KY.
This interview focuses on some of the outside pressures facing schools and administrators such as standardized testing. Dr. Coleman also provides some fantastic comments on the idea of equity in schools. Finally, they dive into the idea of PBL, when used well, as a tool to level the playing field and provide equity for the learning of all students.
We hope you enjoy this installment of the PBL Playbook! Stay tuned for another PBL Blitz episode coming your way soon.
