Sometimes our first projects aren’t as good as we think they are

Update: 2017-08-23

Description

Sometimes our first projects aren’t as good as we think they are, as Rachel Meenen shares with us in today’s podcast. She tells us about her journey into PBL and, as she shares her project ideas, how she improved with more experiences. She also tells a story about a student whose strengths were finally recognized and appreciated by her peers…a story that leaves us both in tears.

Rachel Meenen is an elementary teacher at Colwich Elementary School in Kansas. She is also a STEAMmaker Camp Trainer.
