“Reflecting on each individual step allows me to step forward to the next benchmark and see how I can better meet that next benchmark when the real work starts picking up in my project.”

In this episode, Josh and Andrea wrap up 2019 and head into 2020 with a discussion on a very appropriate topic for the New Year: reflection. What is the value of reflection in education? How do you “do reflection” in Project Based Learning? Their interview guest for this episode, senior student William Likens from CSA New Tech, helps them discuss the value of reflection and why it is an important part of the PBL process, especially from a student perspective. They also discuss some classroom strategies for reflection from the perspectives of both student and teacher. At the end of the episode, Josh and Andrea leave the listeners with their own 2020 resolutions.
