“It’s really to celebrate everything that’s going well in a classroom, and as educators, we don’t celebrate ourselves very often. It’s an opportunity to say ‘Look at these amazing things that I am doing.’”

— Suzanne Diehn, Director of PBL Certification, Magnify Learning

On this episode of the PBL Playbook Podcast, Josh and Andrea discuss PBL Certification, a possible next step in the journey for veterans of the PBL classroom looking to grow their practice. They first sit down with Suzanne Diehn (@Teacher_of5th), the Director of PBL Certification for Magnify Learning, to discuss the process of becoming PBL certified and the value that can bring. Suzanne describes the process of PBL Certification, which is an incredibly reflective process in which teachers submit different components of their own PBL work with an analytical eye on the project.

To wrap up the episode, Josh and Andrea discuss the Certification process as they experienced it. They talk about the impact that the process of certification has had on their teaching and PBL practice, especially regarding reflection.
