Project-based learning is not an instructional method where teachers can attend one workshop and master it. As you know, project-based educators continuously enhance their instructional skills by learning from implementation and being lifelong learners. Effective project-based educators focus on student academic and personal growth and their own growth as well.

They understand that it's a journey; however, some teachers find it challenging to identify the next steps on their professional learning path. After supporting hundreds of teachers in executing PBL, I've noticed several factors that impact their ability to implement PBL successfully. In this episode, we will explore the steps to becoming an impactful project-based educator.
