2. Your students have read Friedman

3. Now those students
have come to a faculty
meeting, and ask:
How are you our school-
leaders going to design
our learning experiences
to better prepare us for
Friedman’s value-
adding jobs?
What do you need to know?

4. Our goals today for your takeaways:
1. A strong understanding of and appreciation for the
elements of High Quality, 21st c. PBL.
2. A set of tactics and strategies for your leadership
in advancing PBL at your school.
3. The beginnings of an action plan, and of a
collaborative cohort, for this work.
