Just retired and am looking to help build PBL programs
This has always been my dream to help redesign a school so that it is PBL oriented. When I went to the High Tech High campus I saw an elementary, middle and high school dedicated to that end. That is where I would make my first visit if I were you.
Next, I do feel that your campus should be a blended-learning environment. The online and real world offer so many opportunities to do local, state, national and international activities that it is a bit overwhelming. The opportunities for students to do real world projects and make a positive contribution to their communities are very exciting.
Next I would make sure that all the teachers have the training and common planning times to do the types of integrated curriculum that are necessary to make this successful. Last year I worked on the stem curriculum and it is a great way to start on a simple hands on approach. You can create literacy, math, science, etc. lessons very effectively.
The technology end is another story and I have used and developed the online and blended learning lessons that can make this very effective. It is an exciting and daunting undertaking but with the right planning and open minded work it can reap incredible benefits for students and teachers.
