Episode Synopsis

Designing projects for an individual class can be a daunting experience, but what about for a whole district, and in the wake of the pandemic?

At the height of exhaustion, many school and leaders within the Scarsdale Public Schools district were looking for ways to reignite a passion for learning in students and teachers. But how could teachers collaborate across disciplines, across grade levels, and across schools to develop curriculum that re-engaged their students?

Three school and district leaders from Scarsdale join us in this episode to examine their project-based learning district initiative — SPARK — and its impact on students and their larger community.
