Lisa Mireles of PBLWorks explains what a real project based learning classroom looks and sounds like \u2014 and how to teach it without falling behind on standards. Lisa Mireles, Ed.D., is Managing Director of Digital Curriculum at PBLWorks (formerly the Buck Institute for Education). She\u2019s taught bilingual students in California, led schools in Indonesia and India, served as an IB coordinator, principal, and assistant superintendent, and was named HIDOE Kaua\u2019i Complex Educational Officer of the Year in 2018. In this episode, you\u2019ll learn: \u2022 What the Gold Standard framework actually contains \u2014 seven essential project design elements plus seven project based teaching practices \u2014 and why a great project still fails without the teaching moves \u2022 What you see and hear in a gold standard PBL classroom: a productive buzz, a project wall with the driving question and milestones, students returning to their need-to-knows, teachers coaching instead of lecturing \u2022 Concrete projects outside business and computer science: designing a community microgrid in high school science, designing a custom diamond in middle school geometry, and a second grade community heroes gallery \u2022 How PBL turns literacy into an all-day practice \u2014 reading, writing, speaking, and listening \u2014 rather than something that only happens during the literacy block \u2022 Lisa\u2019s answer to the time squeeze: coverage isn\u2019t enough, and going deeper on power standards teaches more than racing through everything \u2022 The principal move worth stealing \u2014 have teachers mark what they planned to teach, then revisit after the project to mark what they actually taught deeply. It\u2019s always about twice as much. \u2022 Where to find more than 100 free project ideas, searchable by grade and subject, that scale up or down for your students Full show notes, resources, and the complete transcript: https:\/\/www.coolcatteacher.com\/e958  If this episode gave you something you can use, take a second to leave a rating or review wherever you\u2019re listening.
