A2: Shifting my practice to have PBL at the core allowed me to keep all learners engaged and appropriately challenged across a broad range of skills. Behaviors improved too! #pblchat

A3: While I had big impacts on my local community, it was not until we launched Go2Science and supported PreK-5 learners globally in PBL that I really went big with pbl! #pblchat

Hi everyone! Beth from Maine here. I'm the co-founder of Go2Science, long time educator, and PBL super fan! #pblchat

A1: I think of PBL as a journey. The further down the path, the more Ss are in the lead and educator control shifts from leadership to more of a supporting role. #PBLChat

A2: Scaffolding students as they learn to make productive choices is another great way to build independence. #PBLChat

A3: I felt I was succeeding in "student-centered" in my classroom when visitors had to look to find me. I was not at the front of the room. Students were center stage and I was in the wings supporting! #PBLChat

A4: Take yourself out of the center of Ss conversations! I found my kinders would address me and I would restate for the class. I shifted our norms so Ss addressed one another. If needed, another student would re-state for the class. Simple strategy, huge gains! #PBLChat

A5: I've seen many Ts begin to "let go" incrementally. Start by providing scaffolded Ss choice options and bit by bit the scaffolding falls away and the magic happens! #PBLChat

Model water towers to go with our Go2Science lesson! We have virtually traveled to Kenya to assist with finding groundwater for a school called HIP Academy! #STEM #TigerPride271 Beth Heidemann

Hello! Beth joining from Florida (yes, I was in the path of Ian) tonight. I'm the co-founder of Go2Science, formerly a kindergarten teacher in Maine. #PBLChat

A1: Getting Ss involved in passion driven #PBL that make a real, positive difference in the world builds #Hope. Ss are empowered to do good for others. #PBLChat

A2: Check out all the #hope in Jennifer Kesler Ss! They are working to engineer water tower solutions for our current Go2Science PBL adventure in Kenya. #PBLChat

A3: Some #PBL projects start with #Hope like our Go2Science Groundwater mission, other times, #Hope bubbles up later like it did with some projects in my classroom. #Hope always finds a way in, though! #PBLChat

A4: I think #Agency (taking action to produce and effect) is an act of #Hope. #PBL demands action. That action causes ripples of #Hope to spread. #PBLChat

A5: #Hope is an observable outcome of #PBL. Ss exhibit caring, passion, and compassion. It does not fit easily on a rubric or grading matrix, but it is a key outcome to passion fueled learning. #PBLChat
