SHOW NOTES
Today we end our series on supporting PBL in your school by talking about building PBL awareness. If you want a forward looking plan that will keep PBL going for years into the future, you need a PBL mindset. You have to know and be able to share your why.
In our “need to know” I talk about how to find local schools to collaborate with. It doesn’t have to be something big and elaborate. Just start talking with other schools and start a group to explore ideas and learn more. Soon you’ll have your collaborative group.
Episode Highlights:
[04:59] "Need to know" How do I find a local school to collaborate with?
[05:23] Put your flag up and let local schools or schools in your state know that you are looking at PBL.
[07:03] You can also go with your local name and start a collaboration. Get together, talk, or even start a book study group.
[09:04] Building PBL awareness. Leverage your community.
[10:35] Share your why with local businesses and leaders, so they know you are empowering the learners and showcase your plan.
