Margie Tiner
“PBL isn’t about the problem or project itself….it’s about the journey students and educators take.”
Steve Martinez
“Put students in the driver’s seat: lead inquiry, collaborate, and work with mentors on real questions, aligned to standards, to spark curiosity, not compliance.”
Steve Martinez
“When you remove all of that lecture time… you then have fifty extra minutes to do something that’s different. And part of what was different there was leaning into that PBL.”
