Learning Circles

At PBLWorks, we believe that providing a space for connections is key to building a community of PBL practitioners. This document outlines the Learning Circle process. Today's input comes from Dr. Lisa Delpit, our keynote speaker.

Directions:

1. Individually reflect on the degree to which you have realized the vision for PBL In your district.

2. With your team. discuss celebrations, barriers, and areas of opportunity.

3. Review the "Amplify Bright Spots" role of the District Leader and reflect on the idea of bright spots as outlined in this video.

4. Using the data reflection protocol, review school-level PBL implementation plans to Identify bright spots, barriers, and district-level actions. Capture key ideas using this note catcher.

5. Be prepared to share what you learned/identified with a partner from another district.

Directions
