“Our job is to … help our teachers and administrators understand that the messiness is okay. It’s part of the process.”
SHOW NOTES
On this episode of the PBL Playbook, Josh and Andrea talk to three separate guests who act as coaches supporting teachers and their implementation of PBL in the classroom. The first interview features Noah Klein, an Academic Instructional Coach at Shawnee Academy in Louisville, Kentucky. They next talk to Maddie Shepard, who works in a coaching and instructional support capacity in the Office of Professional and Deeper Learning in Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, Kentucky. Finally, they wrap things up with Dr. Diane Clancy, the Director of Professional Development and Coaching for Magnify Learning. In all three interviews, they tackle the role of an instructional coach in a PBL environment, including the kind of support teachers need. These three individuals combine for an incredible amount of PBL experience, and each interview leaves the listener with one message: Embrace the messy. They discuss the value for teachers in learning from failure, especially in the PBL environment. They each touch on common questions they have addressed in their roles as coaches, as well as key pieces of advice for listeners, no matter where they are in their PBL journey.
