In this episode, Ryan Steuer, author of PBL Simplified: 6 Steps to Move Project Based Learning from Idea to Reality, talks about the common myths and challenges many new teachers face when trying to implement PBL in the classroom. Steuer also provides practical tips and advice on how to design PBL lessons at all grade levels, how community stakeholders can become part of the design process, and why grading should never be a barrier as classroom assessment remains the same with a focus on communication, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.
