Ep. 100 - PBL & SEL, with Mike Kaechele

BIG PICTURE Social Emotional Learning Podcast

One of my mentors emphasizes beginning with the end in mind… and very clearly that is one point of focus for Mike Kaechele, who is convinced that we don’t need to prepare students for “someday,” but that they should take on meaningful work right now… no matter their age. Mike is a teacher with over 20 years experience, and he’s an author. Mike is also a consultant who helps educators across the country shift towards student-centered inquiry, through workshops that combine Project Based Learning (PBL) and Social Emotional Learning (SEL). His book, Pulse of PBL: Cultivating Equity Through Social Emotional Learning, provides multiple ways to teach, practice, and assess foundational SEL skills through a PBL framework. Mike is National Faculty Emeritus with PBLWorks (through the Buck Institute of Education). @mikekaechele Michaelkaechele.com facebook.com/SELinPBL pulseofpbl.com If you’re gaining value from this podcast, it would be a real help if you’d post a rating and review … and/or ….. please do join fellow BPSEL Podcast listeners on the BPSEL Podcast Facebook page.
