Listen "Inquiry in Project-Based Learning | E168"
Episode Synopsis
As Ryan Steuer, I warmly invite you to journey with me in remembering my mentor, Dan Miller, as we bring his inspiring question, "What does this make possible?" into the heart of educational reform. Through genuine reflections and strategies, we honor Dan's legacy by exploring the power of a shared vision, particularly our ambitious goal to see project-based learning in over half of all schools by 2051. It's a conversation that stitches together the wisdom of Dan's "48 Days to the Work and Life You Love" with real-world applications, leadership, unity, and educational innovation.This episode isn't just a tribute; it's the beginning of a series on inquiry. Drawing from Trevor MacKenzie's "Inquiry Mindset," we unravel the progression from structured to free inquiry and how it intertwines with project-based learning to ignite student curiosity and research prowess. I'll share classroom stories that breathe life into these concepts—from a Florida PBL unit on home buying to senior capstone projects that leave lasting imprints on communities. Get ready to discover how we scaffold learning and craft authentic experiences that elevate our students from passive learners to proactive problem solvers, ready to dive headfirst into their PBL journey.JOIN THE ONLINE PBL COMMUNITY
