Episode Synopsis

Mike shares the importance of designing through Project-Based Learning with an authentic purpose to problem solve. The framework for students to connect multidisciplinary through a structure of thinking, high-level questioning by both students and teachers. Projects start with a Driving Question (DQ) to engage students and frame the anticipated learning. Social-Emotional Learning skills are embedded in high-quality PBL. "The SEL framework emphasizes student behaviour in the classroom, whereas PBL applies it more globally to issues outside of themselves. But the skills are the same in each case, with PBL using Social Awareness to drive this decision making." It is not just about choice it is that purpose. http://www.michaelkaechele.com/marriage-of-sel-and-pbl/
