Welcome to the PBL Playbook, brought to you by Magnify Learning – where we put teachers back in their sweet spot. Make sure you follow us on Twitter: @magnifylearning, @askgiebs, @MissB103, #PBLPlaybook.
Josh and Andrea continue the PBL Project Blitz series where once a month, they highlight a PBL project by veterans in the PBL classroom.
In this episode of the PBL Project Blitz, Josh and Andrea chat with Britni Pascoe (@bnpurdue), a third grade teacher at Southport Elementary School (@Southport_EI ) in Indianapolis, IN. Britni shares a project that the Southport Elementary third graders completed called “Spin for M4M.” Inspired by a Myeloma diagnosis in a family member of one of their teachers, third graders aimed to revamp a biking event called Miles 4 Myeloma in order to raise both awareness of the disease and money for cancer research. In what was meant to be a small community project, Southport third graders and their teachers were moved at the reach of this project and the impact on the community. Britni also touches on the collaboration between the Southport third grade teachers, and the contributions from all stakeholders to make this such a powerful event for her community and students.
Stay tuned for more awesome projects as the PBL Project Blitz series continues every month!
