#109: PBL Without the Chaos: Yes, It’s Possible
Manage episode 488302942 series 3483879
You want to do PBL, but every time you think about it… you panic. What if it flops? What if it’s chaos? Been there. Done that. In this episode, I’m sharing how I went from panicked to confidently using project-based learning in my classroom—without the mess.
Inside this episode:
✔ Why PBL feels chaotic (and why it doesn’t have to be)
✔ The biggest mistake teachers make when starting project-based learning
✔ How project milestones create structure and boost learning
💡 Try This: Sketch out your next project. Add 2-3 mini-deadlines. Ask: What should students know or show by each one?
🎯 Key Takeaway: PBL isn’t chaos. It’s just control with a purpose. And structure is your secret weapon.
