Who introduced Ginny to PBL?*Building on his children’s strengths,

interests, and passions, Ginny’s father provided a horse farm and

a movie camera to teach his children real world skills using Project Based Learning,

immersing them in complex, real-world problems.

*Ginny’s father was a “guide on the side, not a sage on the stage.”

*Records were kept on film to be used in presentations and were later digitalized.

What has been the role of PBL in Ginny’s life?

*Linked with community resources Ginny had to order hay and oats, set up timelines for delivery, schedule and teach horseback riding lessons, arrange for vet care, and prepare presentations.

*Essential skills were developed as Ginny confronted and analyzed problems, brainstormed and researched solutions, and took the lead on making critical decisions.

*This PBL culminated in exhibitions and presentations to

authentic audiences at horse shows in communities

across the United States.
