Learner engagement, content relevancy, and deep learning will never be an issue again!

Who should sign up? Educators who want to learn about PBL fast. or who feel they need less support. or who are self-starters and self-disciplined finishers. or who want to go slower, practicing and applying each portion as they learn. Want to go fast, slow, and/or deep? This is the class for you!

What will you gain? You will learn the continuum of shifting yourself and your students to PBL. Understand daily realities and move deeply into the portions you know you need more help. Skim those parts where you need less help. This course is self-directed and self-paced.

Ginger Lewman and Katie Perez
Ginger Lewman and Katie Perez

Ginger and Katie have nearly 2 decades of combined classroom PBL experience. Now, working with ESSDACK, a non-profit eduction service center based in central Kansas, they are both PBL coaches, consultants, and keynote speakers who believe that teachers teach how they are taught. If we want teachers to teach in a particular way, then they need to experience their learning in the same or similar style.

Ginger has over 25 years experience teaching grades 5-12.
Katie has over 16 years experience teaching grades PK-6.

Together, they're able to meet the varied demands of every curriculum and instruction coach working to support PBL teachers, even if that coach has never taught in a PBL environment themselves.
