SHOW NOTES
The PBL Simplified book will be out and in your hands by January of 2023! The foreword is written by New York Times bestselling author Dan Miller. We know there is change in the workplace and change in education. We need empowered learners, not passive learners that sit back and take in information.
Today's opening "need to know'' is about engaging learners in the classroom. When you model engagement in your teacher professional development, then you equip them with skills and ideas they can take back to their own classroom.
Today's main topic is around how we get our learners to present to different audiences, so that they're confident in taking the next step. We want our learners empowered and ready to present in front of any audience. I share three transformative principles that will improve learner presentations.
Episode Highlights:
[03:56] What does professional development look like in our school? Teachers will replicate the learning environment that you present to them.
[04:47] We need to model an engaging learning environment for our teachers, so that they can take the same tactics into the classroom.
[06:30] Every school needs to have learners presenting to an audience outside of the classroom.
[07:12] 1. Make learning transparent. All learners are capable of high-performance presentations, but they need to be taught those skills. Share best practices.
[10:53] 2. When you bring in presentations, horizons are lifted. Learners begin to see new opportunities when presenting to outside partners.
[13:58] 3. Make feedback and reflection part of your culture. Learners want to reflect and refine their work before they present it.
