3 Steps to Starting Your PBL Journey
- Ryan uses a personal anecdote to introduce the idea that everyone taking on a new challenge starts by “crawling, walking, and then running.”
- The main idea of the episode is that teachers should give themselves grace as they implement PBL, as there will be setbacks and failures along the way.
- There are three main stages to implementing PBL:
- Crawling: Teachers new to PBL should start slowly, by implementing protocols and strategies they may have seen at professional development or online.
- Walking: In this stage, teachers begin to use the resources and structures of PBL, such as the six steps of PBL, in their classrooms.
- Running: Teachers in this stage have successfully implemented PBL in their classrooms and are confident using protocols and strategies.
- Teachers should embrace failure as a part of the process and use it as an opportunity to grow. This can also help students to develop a growth mindset.
- Transparency is a key component of successful PBL implementation. Teachers should be open with their students about the challenges they are facing and work together to find solutions.
- The host encourages listeners who are ready to “run” with PBL to join the PBL Movement Online Community.
- The next episode in the series will focus on building a classroom culture that supports PBL.
