Empowering Students Through Project-Based Learning - Britni Pascoe | E164

PBL Simplified for Administrators by Magnify Learning

Discover the transformative power of Project-Based Learning as we sit down with Britni Pascoe, a fourth-grade teacher with a flair for turning classic school fundraisers into educational gold mines. Britni's unique approach to PBL has seen her students surpass financial goals and master life skills, all within the context of Go For Gold initiative for pediatric cancer. Through Britni's narrative, we grasp how new PBL students can tackle their first project with enthusiasm, learning practical applications for grammar and math, and setting goals that reflect genuine social-emotional growth.
Imagine a lemonade stand that's more than just a childhood rite of passage—it's a strategic, community-driven fundraiser that aligns with educational standards and teaches valuable life lessons. In our chat with Britni, we dissect how she connected with partners like Alex's Lemonade Stand to create a PBL experience that's both meaningful and aligned with state criteria. As Britni explains, the shift from conventional assignments to impactful community projects made a profound difference in student engagement and learning outcomes.
