Why is PBL Good for Kids? | E220 18:36

منذ 3 أيام18:36

18:36

This episode focuses on the benefits of Project Based Learning (PBL) for K-12 students. It explores how PBL can enhance academic achievement, social-emotional learning (SEL), and future readiness. Key Takeaways: PBL improves academic performance. Studies show that PBL can lead to significant gains in standardized test scores, AP exam scores, and literacy and numeracy skills. PBL supports social-emotional learning. PBL provides opportunities for students to develop self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. PBL prepares students for the future. PBL helps students develop 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and inquiry, as well as career preparation skills. Examples and Resources: Dixie Elementary: This school improved its state test score from a D to an A using PBL. Southport Elementary: This school, which already had an A, implemented PBL to improve employability skills for its high socioeconomic and ELL students. They then had the highest growth on their state standardized test in the entire state. Southside Elementary: This Title 1 elementary school also saw success with PBL. School Within a School: Ryan discusses a PBL program he started in a large middle school that led to increased attendance, decreased discipline issues, and improved academic outcomes for the participating students. The Lucas Foundation: This organization conducted randomized controlled trials in 2021 that demonstrated the positive impact of PBL on student learning. CASTLE (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning): This organization provides resources on SEL competencies. Book Recommendation: Ryan’s book, PBL Simplified , provides a framework for implementing PBL, including the six steps of PBL and strategies for grouping students. Book Recommendation: Life's a Project is another book that delves deeper into PBL implementation. Call to Action: Communicate the Why: School administrators should articulate the benefits of PBL to teachers, parents, and students. Encourage Risk-Taking: Administrators should support teachers in trying new approaches and provide resources and support for their efforts. Celebrate Successes: Recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of teachers and students involved in PBL. Next Episode: Topic: Neuroscience behind great learning, focusing on attunement and the importance of authentic PBL. PBL Research: https://www.lucasedresearch.org/research/research-briefs/…

Leveraging Social Media to Transform Schools With David Griffith | E219 34:56

منذ 17 يومًا34:56

34:56

This episode of the PBL Simplified podcast features David Griffith , a content creator coach and former middle school teacher with over 1.2 million followers on TikTok . In this episode, Griffith discusses the importance of social media for school leaders and offers practical advice on how to use social media effectively to engage with the community. Key takeaways from the episode: School leaders need to be on social media because that's where the attention is. People are spending more and more time on social media, and schools need to be present on these platforms to reach their target audience. There is a right and a wrong way to use social media. Simply posting a few pictures and tagging the school is not enough. School leaders need to be intentional about the content they create and how they share it. Getting a coach can help school leaders accelerate their social media success. A coach can provide guidance on how to create engaging content, use the right hashtags, and target the right audience. School leaders can learn from other school leaders who are doing social media well. Instead of being intimidated by successful social media accounts, school leaders can study what these accounts are doing and try to replicate their strategies. Consistency is key for social media success. Posting regularly, even if it's just once a day, is essential for building a following and keeping people engaged. School leaders can use their smartphones to create and post content. There are a number of apps and tools available that can help school leaders create professional-looking videos and captions. Social media is a powerful tool for storytelling. School leaders can use social media to share the stories of their students, staff, and community. This can help to build relationships and create a positive image for the school.

How to Gain Momentum for Project-Based Learning in 2025 | E216 17:35

منذ 8 weeks17:35

17:35

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.

Unlocking Student Potential: Revolutionizing Education with Active Learning and PBL | E209 31:41

منذ 15 weeks31:41

What if the key to unlocking student potential lies in transforming traditional teaching methods? We explore this question with the innovator, Lauran Kerr-Heraly, Ph.D., from Houston Community College, who is revolutionizing classrooms through active learning, Project Based Learning (PBL), and gamification. Lauran shares her approaches that bring history to life, illustrating how smaller class sizes at her college provide the perfect environment for creative experimentation. Her techniques, including turning a classroom into an escape room, aim to inspire curiosity and prepare students for real-world challenges by enhancing critical thinking and teamwork. Tune in as we dissect the pivotal role of executive function skills in education and how the pandemic has magnified their importance. We debunk myths about students naturally mastering skills like time management and focus by the time they reach college. Instead, we emphasize the necessity of intentionally teaching these skills through PBL. This episode explains how breaking down tasks and understanding motivation can empower students to conquer academic and professional hurdles. Join us as we champion the power of partnerships and community in education.

Join us for an eye-opening episode where Jared and Jen, the dynamic co-founders of Forget the Rankings, challenge the traditional perceptions of college selection. They push back against the prestige-driven mindset, urging us to reconsider what truly matters in the college search. Through their engaging conversation, you'll learn about a values-based approach that prioritizes personal happiness and fulfillment. Jared shares a memorable anecdote illustrating why we should celebrate every student's journey, not just those who reach elite institutions. Jen echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's motivations and priorities in the college landscape. Our discussion unfolds with an exploration of how conventional college criteria, like size and location, often overshadow the deeper question of what brings joy and purpose to a student's life. We unpack innovative techniques such as card sorting and guided questioning, offering a personalized roadmap for first-generation college students who might find the process overwhelming. The insights shared by Jared and Jen are invaluable not only for students but also for parents, coaches, and guardians who wish to support them on this journey. As we confront the challenges posed by the obsession with rankings, we also spotlight the often-overlooked benefits of smaller liberal arts colleges. Jared and Jen advocate for a shift away from the pressures perpetuated by the college admissions industry, encouraging a paradigm where educational choices are genuinely reflective of personal values. By doing so, we hope to spark a broader societal change that promotes long-term fulfillment and happiness, reducing the high rates of career dissatisfaction and financial burdens faced by many.
