“When we saw PBL for what it was worth, it boiled right down to who we were and what we were doing. We were really excited about, ‘Alright, somebody gets it and knows what we’re trying to accomplish here.’”

— Mark Piersall, Executive Director, Heritage Farm

In this episode, Josh and Andrea have an extensive conversation with the staff of Heritage Farm in Bouckville, NY. Heritage Farm is an organization who services their community by providing young adults and adults with disabilities hands-on experiences on the farm to help them cultivate life skills. Through their work with Magnify Learning, they are not only a wonderful community partner for schools, but they have launched and facilitated their own PBL Units with their participants! This organization gives a picture of the incredible value that real-world experience and community partnerships can bring to the PBL classroom. After this awesome episode, make sure you check out their website at https://www.heritagefarminc.org/home to learn more about what they do, their PBL experiences, and to connect with them in your own classroom!
