Project Based Learning is far more than simply setting students\u00a0<\/span>on a path to complete a project on a given date. Rather, Project Based Learning is a complex pedagogy that requires attention, a shift in one\u2019s role as a teac<\/span>her and one\u2019s mindset.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I believe that Project Based Learning is a combination between student skills and efficacy, and educators setting up students to apply their skills effectively to answer really great questions.<\/p>\n

The Right Question Institute<\/a> states that teaching students how to ask the right questions is rarely deliberately taught in formal education. I would stretch this further as say that it is rarely a skill that is cultivated by educators ourselves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The book \u201cTeaching That Changes Lives<\/a>\u201d by Dr. Marilee Adams sets educators on the right course to ask questions \u2013 of themselves, for themselves and for their students. Questions \u2013 asking the right questions to the right people (including ourselves) is a powerful key to unlock our potential in shifting how we work in the classroom, in our schools, and the way students learn.<\/p>\n

For this reason, I am very excited to be a part of the upcoming \"\"<\/a>Buck Institute at Hillfield Strathallan College<\/a>. It\u2019s a great opportunity to Level Up in your skills \u2013 whether you are a seasoned pro, or a hopeful beginning, there are three ways to access the work of the Buck Institute. There will be a showing of Most Likely to Succeed, and much more.<\/p>\n

As educators, we know more about the way the way students learn, about the way that teachers learn, and how the two can be brought together to avoid burnout, disengagement and disillusionment. This is a chance to \u2018buck\u2019 the trend, and inspire yourself and your students.<\/p>\n

I hope to see you there\u2026<\/p>\n
