Today on the PBL Simplified for Administrators podcast we have Ashley Curtin. Ashley is a district coach in Calvert County Maryland working with PBL teachers. The PBL initiative started in social studies to increase engagement and has spread across the district. Ashley is now under Career Technical Education (CTE) funding and is building relationships with CTE instructors. She connects teachers and suggests collaborations. A key to her approach is meeting people where they are at with their mindset and comfort level with PBL. PBL Unit Examples Eighth Grade Science & Culinary Arts: An eighth-grade science teacher developed a project about invasive species, initially thinking about a cookbook. The project shifted to educating the public about invasive fish in the Chesapeake Bay and Puxon River. Students created posters, social media posts, and websites with QR codes to educate the community. Culinary program seniors developed recipes for invasive fish, which were judged in a "Chopped" style competition. The eighth graders then featured these recipes on their websites and in their outreach materials. The project culminated in presentations to community partners, including the Department of Agriculture and local restaurant owners. Third Grade Storybook Project: A third-grade team created storybooks about different regions of the United States. The project integrated science, social studies, and ELA standards. Students recorded themselves reading the books, which were accessed via QR codes in the front covers. They sold the books to families, and the project culminated in an author signing event with over 150 attendees. Roses, Buds, and Thorns Rose (What's going well): The shift to CTE funding is a big win. CTE programs already have authenticity, so the focus is on infusing pedagogical practices and PBL structures. Bud (Promising practices): PBL is now a strategic goal for the district. There is work with math instructors, and an effort to reimagine education with PBL. The adaptability of the PBL framework is allowing it to take shape in different ways. Thorn (Challenges): Ashley's capacity to support the growing PBL movement is limited. There is a need to convince more decision-makers to invest in PBL and create core leadership positions. Some teachers who signed up for training are reluctant to fully embrace the PBL mindset and implementation. Ashley wants to encourage these teachers without making them feel like they are being dragged along. Addressing the Challenges (Thorns) Capacity: The need for more resources and core leaders in buildings and across grade levels/content areas is a significant challenge. Hesitant Teachers: Invite teachers to observe successful PBL classrooms. Invite teachers to participate in tuning protocols. Provide opportunities for collaborative support and reflection. Share a PBL newsletter to highlight best practices and provide resources. Highlight teachers and their work in a positive way in order to give them affirmation. Getting Administrative Buy-In Track data like student engagement, attendance, and discipline to show the impact of PBL. Share positive stories from PBL classrooms with principals to improve community perception of the school. Promote the idea of training coaches to implement PBL in individual schools. Highlight that educators can learn from their own colleagues and don't necessarily need to travel to conferences. Optimism about Education PBL is re-engaging teachers and showing them the power of their work. It shifts teachers' views of students, moving away from negative assumptions. PBL has the power to transform education and engage students long after the project is over. Conclusion Ashley is bringing hope and joy to the teaching profession through PBL. The podcast encourages teachers to rate and review the show. PBL is helping teachers teach the way they have always wanted to teach.

What happens when a university rethinks the whole higher ed model rebuilds it around hands-on, project-based learning?Matt Kirchner dives into the bold model pioneered by Worcester Polytechnic Institute with Dr. Kristin Wobbe, Director of the Center for Project-Based Learning. A biochemist turned curriculum innovator, Kris has spent nearly two decades helping WPI embed real-world projects into every stage of a student's education.From first-year seminars on global challenges to immersive junior-year team projects with community partners around the world, WPI's model turns students into creators, collaborators, and critical thinkers from day one.Whether you're a university leader or an instructor in search of a better way to teach, this episode offers a masterclass in how to make learning stick.Listen to learn:Why students don't need to “know everything” before they dive into hands-on learningHow WPI redesigned its calendar and credits to prioritize deep project workWhat first-year students can accomplish when they take on global problemsHow project-based learning transforms both faculty culture and student confidenceWhy WPI students are more prepared for the workforce than their peers3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Project-based learning works best when it starts early and is embedded across the entire student journey.At WPI, students can opt into the Great Problems Seminar in their first year—a two-course sequence that explores global issues like food security, energy, and AI through interdisciplinary teamwork. By senior year, every student must complete a Major Qualifying Project worth three full courses, often in partnership with faculty or industry, making project-based learning a requirement, not an add-on.2. The humanities directly enhance technical learning and student outcomes.WPI's alumni data shows students who complete their humanities and arts curriculum earlier perform better in technical coursework later on. These experiences sharpen communication, interdisciplinary research, and critical thinking skills—essential for identifying problems worth solving and communicating solutions effectively in STEM fields.3. Project-based learning is scalable far beyond polytechnic institutions.Through WPI's Center for Project-Based Learning, Kris and her team have supported schools ranging from the Air Force Academy to community colleges and liberal arts institutions like the New England Conservatory of Music. With 85% of WPI faculty incorporating projects into their courses—and over half of student work now project-based—the model proves adaptable across disciplines, schedules, and resource levels.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about the Center for Project-Based Learning at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, visit: https://wp.wpi.edu/projectbasedlearning/Other resources:Read Kris's book Project-Based Learning in the First YearBeyond All ExpectationsWe want to hear from you!

This episode of the PBL Simplified Podcast features guest Matt Taylor, who leads the Noble Story Group, a consulting firm that focuses on emotional intelligence-based leadership development in education and nonprofits. Matt's “Why” He had an epiphany while observing both urban district schools and charter schools that they either had teachers with great technical and instructional skills, but unhappy students and teachers or they were happy places where students weren't being challenged. He believes the “sweet spot” is a place where adults and kids feel connected and challenged. His executive coaching training grounded in emotional intelligence changed his life and gave him a framework to address his observations. He seeks to create the conditions for learning and thriving for individuals, teams, and learning communities. The Value of Executive Coaching Executive coaching helps build competencies, not skills. It focuses on the “below the surface” aspects, like beliefs and mindsets, that affect competency. Coaching helps identify roadblocks that training alone can't address, like being conflict-averse. Coaching helps leaders shift deep-seated habits based on core values. It empowers individuals to find their own solutions. It creates a ripple effect, enabling leaders to coach their teams. Success Story: The Second-Year Principal A high-achieving assistant principal, promoted to principal, struggled with delegation. Coaching revealed her underlying beliefs: She felt the need to prove herself, to be liked, to not overburden others, and that this was what leadership entailed. This led to her disempowering her team and hindering their growth. By connecting her actions to her core value of developing people, she found the motivation to change. She learned to self-coach, interrupting her old patterns and reminding herself of her true goal. The Five Square Method This coaching process is based on the four dimensions of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. It emphasizes that 75% of leadership happens internally. Leaders must understand their own values, mindsets, and potential obstacles before engaging others. Social awareness, particularly empathy, is key to understanding others' perspectives and choosing effective engagement strategies. A fifth square, “core values,” was added to highlight their importance in guiding leadership decisions. The Importance of Listening Executive coaching involves the coach listening 70% of the time. This allows the person being coached to process information and find their own insights. Expertise for School Leaders The most important expertise for school leaders is being the “learning leader.” This means embodying a growth mindset, fostering relational trust and belonging, and balancing challenge and care for adults as well as students. Launching a Vision Connect the vision to your core values. Make it a shared vision by listening to and incorporating your team's aspirations. View implementing the vision as adaptive change, involving the people affected in the solution. Focus on the common ground of shared values and goals. Opportunities in the Future of Education Shift from short-term fixes to long-term strategies that address teacher and leader retention. Prioritize creating a supportive and challenging learning community for adults. Recognize the contagious nature of emotions: Adults' engagement in learning will inspire students. Parting Advice This work is a marathon, not a sprint: Take care of yourselves and each other. Build a strong team that provides both support and challenge. Maintain hope and belief in your collective ability to overcome challenges. Call to Action Don't go it alone. Seek support through coaching or masterminds.

This episode focuses on practical ways administrators can address teacher burnout and reignite their passion for teaching. Burnout is characterized by a disconnect from the joy of teaching, often stemming from a lack of autonomy and meaningful teaching opportunities. Project Based learning (PBL) is presented as a way to combat teacher burnout by fostering a student-centered approach that can revitalize teachers' love of teaching. This episode emphasizes that while quick fixes like hot chocolate and meditation can help, it's important to address the root causes of burnout. Three Key Ways to Reignite Teachers' Love of Teaching: Autonomy and Creativity: Teachers need the freedom to design meaningful and engaging projects that are tailored to their students' needs. Following a rigid scope and sequence can stifle creativity and excitement. PBL provides opportunities for both teachers and learners to have autonomy. Building Relationships: Focus on both student-teacher and teacher-teacher connections. Teachers want to connect with their students on a personal level beyond just the curriculum. Creating opportunities for teachers to collaborate and connect with their peers is crucial. Relevance and Purpose: Teachers need to feel that their work is meaningful and connected to real-world problems. PBL can provide this sense of relevance and purpose. When students are engaged, teachers are also more likely to be engaged and feel fulfilled. Practical Steps Administrators Can Take Immediately: Start with small wins. Redesign faculty meetings to be more collaborative and to celebrate successes. Use faculty meetings to build relationships between teachers. We offer a free resource for how to redo your faculty meeting on our website, magnifypbl.com. Empower student voice. Encourage teachers to give students voice and choice in their learning. Consider starting a student voice group to gather feedback. Identify what "fills the bucket" for teachers: Find out what activities or actions bring joy to individual teachers and implement them. It may vary by grade level or content area. Something as simple as a positive note can mean a lot to teachers. Encourage teachers to try new student-centered strategies: Provide opportunities for teachers to share what they have tried. Create a culture of collaboration and shared learning. Build a positive culture in the school to reduce teacher turnover. When teachers are excited to be there, it creates a positive current. Call to Action: Challenge teachers to reflect on one small change they can make to bring joy back into their teaching. Recognize that joy is an important part of the educational process, along with standardized tests and learning outcomes.

Ashley Green is a versatile educator with 19 years of experience as a language arts teacher, curriculum coordinator, and principal. She is the owner of Green Tree Educational Solutions, a consulting agency in Mississippi dedicated to helping individuals and organizations achieve their full potential. She also serves as an adjunct professor, training and preparing future educators. Green's "why" is to help people, including teachers, students, and leaders, reach their full potential. Keys to a Successful School Turnaround Green outlines three keys to successfully turning around a school: Communication: Clearly communicate how initiatives, like PBL, will function, including components, location, participants, etc. Modeling and Monitoring: Leaders should model the desired behaviors and monitor progress to ensure implementation. Correcting and Celebrating: Provide feedback and support by correcting mistakes and celebrating successes. CMC Squared Coaching Model Green's CMC Squared model (Communication, Model, Monitor, Celebrate or Correct) provides a framework for successful implementation of initiatives. Success Story: Increasing Student Engagement Green shares a success story about working with a fifth-grade ELA teacher to increase student engagement. The strategies included: Small group work: Implementing small group activities three times a week to provide more opportunities for student engagement. Background knowledge: Frontloading instruction with background knowledge to create an equitable playing field for all students. SAC Procedure: Utilizing the SAC (Scan, Annotate, Comprehend, and Show what you know) procedure to activate active reading skills and encourage student exploration of texts. Obstacles to School Turnaround Green identifies two major obstacles to turning around schools: Buy-in: Getting leaders to trust the process and buy into the proposed changes. Vision: Many leaders lack a clear vision for their school, which hinders progress. Overcoming Obstacles Green suggests strategies for overcoming buy-in and vision obstacles: Surveys and Interviews: Conduct surveys and individual interviews with stakeholders to gather information and understand needs. Retreats and Team Building: Host retreats and team-building activities to foster collaboration and build relationships. Shared Beliefs: Facilitate sessions for teachers to establish shared beliefs and values, creating a sense of ownership and accountability. Advice for Educators on Their PBL Journey Trust your inner child: Remember the importance of fun and engaging learning experiences for students. Prioritize students: Ensure students are at the forefront of all initiatives. Activate the three C's: Challenge students, make them curious, and show them that you care.

If you're a freelancer or a creative business owner, chances are you've thought about whether to focus on project-based work, aim for more retainer clients, or try a mix of both. Maybe you're currently doing one and wondering if the grass is greener on the other side? That's exactly what I want to dive into today. I've worked in both a retainer model vs. project-based clients, and I have plenty of thoughts to share—lessons I've learned, pros and cons, and what's currently working for me. Let's get into it!

Podcast Summary: This episode provides three practical strategies for school administrators to gain momentum for project-based learning (PBL) in their schools. The three strategies are: Get started today. This means taking steps like visiting schools with successful PBL programs, engaging in book studies about PBL, or listening to podcasts on PBL for administrators. When visiting other schools, administrators should bring along key stakeholders like assistant principals, teachers, community partners, parents, and school board members. Create a grassroots movement. Instead of a top-down mandate, a grassroots movement encourages teachers to embrace PBL and advocate for it. A PBL Learning Team or Leadership Team can be created to visit PBL schools, receive training, and implement PBL in their own classrooms. By showcasing successful PBL implementation within their own school, these teams can inspire other teachers to adopt PBL. Design Days can be utilized to visit model schools, build three-year plans, and receive coaching for successful implementation. Provide robust training. Teachers need at least three days of intensive training with follow-up coaching to effectively implement PBL. Training should emphasize authentic PBL, where students solve real-world problems and develop essential employability skills. Authentic PBL engages students and teachers more deeply and leads to more meaningful learning experiences. Key Takeaways: Don't delay in taking action to bring PBL to your school. Foster a grassroots movement among your staff to create buy-in and enthusiasm for PBL. Invest in robust and authentic PBL training for your teachers to ensure successful implementation. Call to Action: Start taking steps to implement PBL in your school today, even if it's just small steps. Consider attending a PBL training or workshop. Visit schools that have successful PBL programs.

Kim Mishkin is here to shed light on Project-Based Learning, an education model that encourages kids to explore, problem-solve, and collaborate in ways that tap into their natural curiosity and interests.   In this episode we explore:   - What Project-Based Learning (PBL) is and how it differs from the standard American education model.   - The origins of the PBL model and what current research reveals about its efficacy for educating kids?    - Why allowing children to help shape the direction of their curriculum reinforces their motivation to learn and fosters curiosity.   - How core academic subjects like reading, writing, and math are covered with a PBL approach.   - Will kids who have been educated in a PBL elementary and middle-school be able to successfully transition to a standard American academic high-school or college environment?   - Ways parents can integrate elements of the PBL approach into everyday life, helping to build critical thinking and curiosity in their children, even outside a PBL school.   If you're curious about alternative education models or looking for ways to inspire a love of learning in your child, this conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss!       LEARN MORE ABOUT HUDSON LAB SCHOOL: https://www.hudsonlabschool.com/   ADDITIONAL REFERENCES AND RESOURCES:
