When Problem Based Learning Comes Alive . . .
/In this piece, we do round 2 with Natasha Nethero, who has taught for the last 9 years in South Phoenix. Last time, Natasha shared with us planning strategies and resources to help teachers give problem-based learning a “go” in the classroom. This time, we dig in deeper to ask about the classroom structures and culture-building she uses to make PBL “click.” You’ll learn about modifying cooperative learning structures, get a few great ideas for start-of-the-year culture lessons, and hear what books have most influenced Natasha’s holistic approach. Along the way, Natasha also describes how to implement a lesser-known (but very powerful) Kagan structure. Enjoy round 2 with Natasha Nethero!
