Do you ever feel like your students are bored and disinterested during lessons? 😴 Are you frustrated with scripted curriculum that leaves no room for creativity? 😤 As teachers, we want our students to be engaged and empowered, not passive. That's where project-based learning (PBL) comes in! 💡

To dig into this student-centered teaching method, I interviewed Ryan Steuer, former engineer, turned middle school teacher turned PBL expert. Ryan is the host of the PBL Simplified podcast 🎙️, the driving force behind the best PBL resources out there, and has a mission that should set you on 🔥 

You do NOT want to miss the conversation! My favorite parts:

When Ryan breaks down some sample projects ranging from first graders to high schoolers. These ideas will set your teacher's soul on fire!

Ryan's advice on how to give students "voice and choice" without throwing them into overwhelm.

How project-based learning is GREAT for teachers and students - reinvigorate your teaching and avoid burnout by making learning relevant again! 🔥

And do not miss all the great resources that Ryan so generously shares.
