#12 | PROJECT-BASED LEARNING: How it helps educators engage male students - w/ Justin Wells, Chief Program Officer, Envision Education
What if learning was just about creating beautiful things? This is the essence of project-based learning. It’s not easy, but we believe that this ethos is essential in order to reach the 21st-century learner. So, what does it take to run a PBL classroom? How do you get students to buy into PBL projects? It’s not easy, and it requires you to view the teaching profession as an art form and expression of creativity in and of itself. Listen to our guest, Justin Wells, and you’ll be convinced.
We cover:
How APB learning gets students to buy-in and prepares them for society
How girls are outperforming boys in all school-based metrics
Why we need to stop using the term “toxic masculinity”
How teachers can be the coach on the side rather than the judge
(0:00) Class in session
(2:00) Justin introduces himself and how he became a teacher
(10:00) Teaching personas, or teacher masks, and code-switching
(20:50) Portfolio defense for high school students, and creating real-world learning experiences
(27:00) The default school design is failing young male students
(29:40) The data on males vs. females in school
(31:00) Stop using the phrase “toxic masculinity”
(40:20) Examples of project-based learning and how it can lead to student buy-in
(44:30) How to reach out to Justin
