This is a special working episode. If you listened to episode 107 where I talked with Banff Academy, they asked me to answer a couple of "need to knows" that they have. This episode is the working session where we talked through their "need to know" questions.

I’d also love your feedback on this episode. Would you like more of these working sessions? Go to WhatIsPBL.com and click on Ask Ryan and let me know! Today we talk about how to deliver PBL on a large scale with multiple teachers and more. 

Episode Highlights: 

[04:28] How to maintain consistency when one project is being delivered to multiple classes with a variety of teachers? Scaling PBL. 

[05:29] A community partner can present to everyone. Have a consistent message. Then teachers can dive in individually. 

[09:09] Community partners do like to get back to the community.

[09:39] Prioritize what needs to be consistent and what doesn't.

[10:47] How would you incorporate PBL into qualification level classes? 

[12:26] Ask the teachers what they want the learners to know by the time they leave school. Educators get fired up about the solution process. We can achieve these goals and meet standards. 

[18:14] Hannah and Nick want the learners to be asking for PBL by the time they become seniors.

[19:02] Problem Based Learning can be 4 to 6 days or a smaller chunk than PBL.
