Elementary literacy coaches, and K-12 curriculum director, and CTE director. Helping teachers not knowing the path to make that happen. Helping students focus on a challenge local to their community. Giving kids tools to focus on making change happen in their area. Project-based training program. PBL programs don’t sound very accessible. We want to be facilitators, but then daily life in the classroom is overpowering, and we can easily give up. 3-day program to design a standards-based project for their classroom. It’s ok to not feel comfortable with this approach. Deeply embedded support model. Make these projects feel real, because they are. Advice for reluctant learners. Maybe a single strong project over the course of a year. How to support teachers who are not naturals at project-based learning. Start with teachers that are eager to have this happen. Teachers aren’t resistant because it isn’t effective, but resistant because they don’t believe it will work. If there is a working model that your campus can see, the resistance will gradually reduce. Some teachers need a model to see that the support is there. Getting everyone in a room and talking about what PBL looks like. Worked in the district 6 months before we even begin the first training. Without that administrator support, any initiative will fail. Classrooms are laboratories. What basis am I using to reevaluate what I’m doing to make my practice better. Teach a protocol of precise feedback for process. Peer review model. Teaching people how to move forward, how to have honest conversations.   Schedule a call with Jethro Are you feeling like you are always behind at school?
