About Your Host…
I’m Ryan Steuer – author and thought leader who specializes in Project Based Learning training, coaching, community, and content to help educational leaders fulfill their vision of deeper learning in their schools.
I believe that educators can change the world…no seriously!
In my classroom (and likely yours too), I saw students who did not value education because the system did not serve their family well. If we can change the view of education in a student’s eyes, then they will raise their family to value education. Thus, the work we do in the classroom can have an exponential impact on changing the world.
My goal is to help 51% of schools implement Project Based Learning in the classroom by the year 2051. When the majority of our students are graduating with employability skills and purpose, we will have a world that can create instead of destroy, collaborate instead of yell, and problem-solve instead of complain.
I’ve worked with leaders in school districts of all sizes,from 400 students to 100,000 students. These visionary leaders care about their students, but they are often stressed, overworked, and overwhelmed with the work ahead of them.
That’s where I come in! I help leaders achieve their PBL vision, lead their staff, AND stop working weekends.
When I’m not guiding school leaders through Project Based Learning mindset shifts, I am outdoors with my wife and
5 kids - canoeing, hiking, biking, and traveling the US in our RV.
WHY PROJECT BASED LEARNING AND WHY NOW?
“For me, Project Based Learning became a necessity after I realized one of my students had dropped out of high school the first semester of his freshman year. I left the world of Industrial Engineering and came into teaching to help all kids see more opportunities. I was fulfilling my 'why'. Most of our 'why's' are the same. We all want our students to have the best opportunities available. Mostly we want our students to be happy and well prepared for life. For me, PBL has been the vehicle to get students to this place.”
