Last week we peeled back the curtain to talk shop on all things PBL and PBA, and this week we’re going inside of a real-life project that’s still very much in the making. Tune in for a 20 minute crash course on backwards design, skill-based assessments, and the value of planning (plus the lack of value in plans). We’re making a mess in the best way possible!
Recorded in bumper-to-bumper traffic to and from my daily work as a high school instructional coach just outside of Washington D.C., Talk to Mee in the Car is where a brainstorm and a good old-fashioned brain dump collide to help educators hone their skills and become leaner, meaner, 21st century teaching machines. Join me for a quick hitting 15 (ish) minute episode every Monday for tips, tricks, and strategies to change the game in your classroom TODAY with high-energy, student-centered teaching that actually works.
Because one size fits all professional development simply doesn’t.
