How do you define the path for your school? Without a path, no one knows where to go, but you will end up somewhere. The next step you need to take is what Ryan calls “Train to Expert”, which is training your teachers to be experts in their chosen field. Ryan gives three key components to professional development. These components fulfill both culture building and the skillsets of your staff. This episode focuses on the first step of the Train to Expert path. There will be two more steps in the series of Defining the Path for your school.
In this episode of the PBL Simplified Podcast, Ryan answers the Need to Know “I’m a PE teacher. I’m in the gym. I’ve got health. How do I get started with Project-Based Learning and how do elective courses work with Project-Based Learning?” Ryan points to Jordan Manley as the PE expert.

In the Leadership Leap, Ryan summarizes the book Mindset by Carol Dweck. Mindsetis about having a Growth Mindset, always thinking that you can improve versus a Fixed Mindset, that you cannot get any better. Get your copy in the links below.
