[3.5] Sustaining PBL: Building capacity

Do you have a topic to suggest or insight to share? Text me.

The success of project-based learning initiatives depends on initial implementation efforts and teachers’ ability to sustain project-based instructional practices over time. Instructional leaders play a crucial role in this process by creating the conditions necessary to enhance teachers' ability to enact the core practices of project-based instruction. The challenge is figuring out how to foster the conditions for launching a successful project-based learning initiative and then how to maintain this effort beyond one school year.

In this episode, we will explore three tools to guide instructional leaders through planning their capacity-building efforts.

1. Impactful Projects Readiness Assessment: a self-reflection tool to help instructional leaders identify progress and growth areas so they can craft an action plan to foster a high-impact, sustainable PBL initiative at their school
2. Impactful Projects Success Path: a rubric describing the phases of a project-based learning initiative and the conditions necessary to achieve each level
3. Impactful Projects Success Map: a planning guide to help instructional leaders begin taking action toward the next implementation phase

Resource: Take the Impactful Projects Readiness Assessment and receive the accompanying resources mentioned above.

P.S. Have you taken the Impactful PBL Readiness Assessment yet? It's a great resource for instructional leaders like you who want to make informed decisions about implementing or strengthening PBL in their schools.
