How do I start my year with PBL?

Should you start the year in a different way if you are bringing PBL to your classroom?

Every day you are immersing your learners in PBL is a good day, so start setting the norms and agreements on Day 1. Start setting the stage for great experiences for your learners on Day 1. The time you INVEST early in the year to train your learners on culture, collaboration, research, agency, empowerment, and high expectations will give you a return on investment many times over! Take the time to set the stage!
