My most recent book, "Implementing Project Based Learning in Early Childhood: Overcoming Misconceptions and Reaching Success" dispels the many common myths educators have around facilitating Project Based Learning with our youngest learners. This book proves that Project Based Learning (PBL) does work in early childhood classrooms. Most common understandings of PBL in Pre-K through 2nd grade are rife with assumptions, misconceptions, and perceived barriers that have prevented its widespread implementation. Implementing Project Based Learning in Early Childhood breaks down these barriers, offering teachers and leaders at various stages of PBL implementation the tools, resources, instructional strategies, and suggestions needed to dispel the myths and discover the truth.Full of practical approaches and strategies, chapters encourage you to consider your current practices from new perspectives while "Reflect and Connect" sections provide opportunities to think through your questions, make connections to your current practices, and plan your next steps. Educators will gain a deep understanding of PBL in early childhood and build their confidence to engage all students in high quality Project Based Learning from the beginning of the school year to the end.

We support educators PreK-2 in developing and implementing high quality Project Based Learning in schools and communities both nationally and internationally. Our website is home to projects and resources for PBL teachers of our youngest learners.

Along with having developed our school's first stand-alone Transitional Kindergarten program, I also support teachers TK-12 in Project Based Learning, Social and Emotional Learning, and Culturally Responsive teaching through facilitating professional development, coaching teams and mentoring individual teachers.

I facilitate workshops and trainings across the country for educators in how to implement high quality project based learning to their students Pre-K through 12th grade. In addition to the introductory workshop, PBL 101, I have facilitated PBLWorks workshops in SEL in PBL, PBL and Equity, along with a variety of sustained support visits tailored to individual schools and communities, Pre-K through 12th grade.
