An actionable blueprint

I’ll model the same original process that I use to teach PBL in classrooms. As a college professor, I’ve used this blueprint to train more hundreds of veteran and new educators.

A clear ‘Why’

A lot of school teams talk about PBL. But few do it well. I’ll help your team find motivation by understanding the problems PBL solves for schools — and make it work for students.

My promise to you ...

Your teachers will leave this course prepared to launch a successful PBL course.

What educators are saying...

“As we continue our journey to provided quality learning opportunities to our students, Johnʻs work will be an important resource. We highly encourage other schools to offer Johnʻs resources to their teachers.”

JoAnn Wong-Kam, Managing Director of Ho'olaukoa

Kamehameha Schools, Honolulu, HI

“Dr. Spencer inspired my teachers to get back to creating classrooms full of “creativity and wonder”. I now hear conversations among teachers as to how to “launch” a PBL project in their class, how they are incorporating empathy into projects, and how service learning is changing their students mindsets. “

Lauren Crabtree, Principal

Douglas County Schools, Douglasville, GA

“John brought a great deal of energy and a fun sense of humor to his workshop that created a fun learning atmosphere for our faculty in a stressful time. I highly recommend John’s workshop and hope he can come back to CFS in the future!”

Eric Fulmer, Dean of Faculty

Church Farm School, Exton, PA
