Impactful PBL Podcast
Hi, I’m Dr. Candice Wilson, the founder of Impactful PBL Network, where we cultivate a community of practice for 3rd-5th grade teachers so they can transition students from being passive learners in their classrooms to active participants in their schools and community via real-world project-based learning experiences.
This podcast provides proven strategies and invaluable tips for building a sustainable project-based learning culture at your school without overwhelming instructional leaders, teachers, and students. If you are an educator who desires to move from theory to practice with project-based learning, follow the podcast to receive notification of new episodes. Let's talk PBL!
