Your students have read Friedman
Now those students have come to a faculty
meeting, and ask:
How are you our school-leaders going to design
our learning experiences to better prepare us for
Friedman’s value-adding jobs?
What do you need to know?
Our goals today for your takeaways: 1. A strong understanding of and appreciation for the elements of High Quality, 21st c. PBL. 2. A set of tactics and strategies for your leadership in advancing PBL at your school. 3. The beginnings of an action plan, and of a collaborative cohort, for this work.
HIGH QUALITY, 21ST CENTURY PBL (HQ21PBL)
