“If we look at what it truly means to be college ready[…], those skills are built in PBL. They are more like survival skills.”

— Dr. Jose Martinez, Professor of Secondary Education, MSU Denver

SHOW NOTES

Join our hosts for episode 2 of their PBL & Higher Ed mini-series! This episode, they are joined by Dr. Jose Martinez, a Professor of Secondary Education at MSU Denver to talk about student performance in Higher Ed as it relates to PBL. This conversation takes two paths; the first discusses Dr. Martinez’s use of PBL components and strategies for his Education Program students at MSU Denver. He talks about the value of PBL and student-centric strategies for his students as they prepare for their own education career. The second part of the conversation is based around Dr. Martinez’s own research into the post-secondary experiences of students coming from PBL schools and pathways. He highlights the advantages PBL provides for those students as they leave the K-12 experience and head to the next level. He also offers some advice for teachers in a PBL environment as he discusses some of the gaps demonstrated or felt by students from PBL school heading to college.

Enjoy this episode, and stay tuned for more great content coming from the PBL Playbook every month!
