Welcome to the PBL Playbook, brought to you by Magnify Learning – where we put teachers back in their sweet spot. Make sure you follow us on Twitter: @magnifylearning, @askgiebs, @MissB103, #PBLPlaybook.

In this episode, Josh and Andrea continue their series about the 6 A’s of PBL project design, where each episode will focus on one of the A’s and its importance to the PBL framework. This episode, they get a chance to talk to Holli Sears (@Holli_Sears), a middle school PBL facilitator and Nathan Manley (@NManley82), Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction, from Neosho School District (@NeoshoSD) in Neosho, Missouri. Through this conversation, they dive into the heart of the Adult Connections component of PBL and the importance of meaningful community partnerships. They discuss what makes a good community partner, some of the ways they have used community partners in the classroom, how to find community partners, and some of their favorite community partners. They also get into some strategies for implementing community partnerships and cultivating adult connections no matter what kind of learning environment your students are in.

Enjoy the fourth installment of the 6 A’s deep dive series, and stay tuned for more great content coming from the PBL Playbook every month!
