Immerse yourself in a new PBL book coming out Spring 2024 with Andrew Larson, the thought leader and author behind the game-changing book "Life's a Project: The Six As of Project-Based Learning." In our latest episode, Ryan Steuer reveals excerpts of the upcoming PBL book. Picture a future where PBL isn't just an option—it's the norm, with schools nationwide adopting this empowering practice by 2051.

Larson's "Life's a Project" is your compass in bringing your PBL practice to the next level. We explore how an invasive species project is more than a lesson—it's a transformation. Students step into the shoes of scientists, environmentalists, and biologists, solving real-world problems and mastering the art of inquiry. This episode promises to leave you not just informed but equipped to infuse PBL into every lesson with strategies that ensure engagement and academic mastery.

Grasp the art of assessment in PBL through our deep dive into effective rubrics and the strategies that make them work. With Larson's insights, we shed light on creating assessments that measure what truly matters—individual academic mastery and growth over time. We discuss why the final group product should only be a sliver of a student's grade and how tailored rubrics can provide clarity and fairness. As we preview Larson's upcoming book, we beckon you to join us in reshaping education through PBL and share resources that complement our journey toward a more interactive and meaningful schooling experience.

From my own shift from the world of engineering to the vibrant classrooms of teaching, I've experienced firsthand the electrifying impact of project-based learning (PBL) on both engagement and academic success. In our latest episode, I peel back the layers of this educational revolution, revealing how PBL not only boosted student performance but also increased attendance and diminished disciplinary issues. I open up about the inception of a PBL-centered school within a school, offering a blueprint for empowering leadership in education that could rewrite the narrative for students and teachers alike.

The conversation takes an inspiring turn as we introduce Maureen, a relentless advocate for inclusivity and personalized learning who is deeply committed to lifting up marginalized communities. With her at the helm of a micro school, we go deep with the concept of these small, relationship-focused educational settings that strike a delicate balance between traditional practices and the innovative changes crucial for addressing each student's individual journey. Maureen's story is a testament to the power of aligning teaching with passion and creating an educational culture that leaves a lasting impact.

We then cast a spotlight on the groundbreaking Microschool Grant Program with Getting Smart, exploring how it's fueling small schools in underprivileged areas to blossom and innovate. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the symbiotic relationship between education and business partnerships, and the ripple effect of students who return to their alma maters as educators, keeping the legacy of a nurturing the system alive. Join us as we explore these transformative tales and consider the future of education where every student's potential is not just recognized but fervently pursued.
