Let's discuss how you have everything you need to get started with project-based learning. I've spoken to many teachers who have read books, listen to podcasts, and even attended workshops about project-based learning because they are interested in becoming project-based educators. However, many teachers are stuck at the exploration stage and are experiencing difficulty transitioning to the implementation phase of PBL. I understand that the idea of trying anything new right now may feel overwhelming. Still, with proper planning and adequate support, it's possible to facilitate a high-performance PBL unit during an in-person, remote, or hybrid learning environment. In this episode, we will discuss five thoughts or challenges that may be holding you back from launching your first or next PBL unit and explore ways to overcome them.

Tune in to hear:

• How my experience with starting a podcast made me reflect on why it's important to take action on your goals even if you don't feel completely ready
• How one teacher gained the courage to take control of her professional development
• The five thoughts holding most teachers back from launching PBL in their classroom
•  Why it's essential to implement what you learn from professional development sessions immediately
