Welcome back to the Teaching with Valor Podcast, where we explore the most impactful strategies and methods in education to empower teachers, parents, and students alike.
I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today, we’re going to take a deep dive into one of the most dynamic and engaging teaching strategies out there: Project-Based Learning, or PBL.
We’ll discuss how PBL can be implemented at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, its benefits, challenges, and how it transforms the traditional classroom into a hub of innovation and creativity.
But that’s not all—stick around for our special bonus segment, where I’ll be answering a parent’s question about how Project-Based Learning prepares students for the real world.
Whether you’re a teacher looking to spice up your lesson plans or a parent curious about how your child is learning, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
