I co-developed a 90 minute presentation with six of my colleagues regarding Michael McDowell's Rigorous PBL model to present to the middle and high school staff, teachers, and administrators of the Middletown Unified School District. Attending Michael's Rigorous PBL 3-day conference in Marin, CA was extremely educational and inspiring as a beginning educator. After attending his conference, I returned back to my classroom with the competency and passion needed to be the best teacher I could be for my 8th grade science students. Moreover, a few of my colleagues and I were so inspired after attending this conference and experiencing the real-world success with our students that we collaborated to develop this presentation to educate the teachers in our district. After delivering this presentation, we were met with a tremendous amount of support and gratitude from our coworkers for sharing this information, and I look forward to hearing about their future success with the Rigorous PBL model.
