The Gold Standard PBL Design Elements include Student Voice and Choice, but giving students the freedom to choose their direction is both scary and exciting. As Seth Godin says, that freedom is an opportunity that often creates fear. How we dance with that fear often determines the success of our classroom and the success of our students. In this workshop we analyze the best practices learned from Spike Lab's model of coaching students all over the world to build impactful projects. Every participant will walk away with a roadmap to build the skills and mindsets necessary to coach 30+ students to unique successful projects multiple times throughout the year.
