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!

[3.9] Sustaining PBL: Co-designing professional development with teachers
Do you have a topic to suggest or insight to share? Text me.
Remember the last time you sat through a professional development session that had absolutely nothing to do with your needs? That sinking feeling of wasted time while your actual challenges went unaddressed? Let's avoid accidentally hosting a dreadful professional development experience for project-based teachers.
It's time to flip the script on traditional professional development. Instead of top-down mandates, we're advocating for something revolutionary yet simple: letting teachers help design their own professional learning journeys.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- A proven 5-step method for creating a co-design PD experience that teachers will enjoy
- How to assess what your teachers really need (hint: it's not what you might think)
- Practical ways to offer multiple learning pathways that respect different learning styles
- Tips for leveraging existing expertise within your school
- Strategies for monitoring and adjusting your PD plan based on real feedback
The days of one-size-fits-all professional development are over. Your teachers deserve training that's as engaging and differentiated as the lessons they create for their students.
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.
