Hello, and welcome to Episode 109 of the Planning Period Podcast, your #EdBreakroom. I'm your host, Brad Shreffler.



This week on the show I am joined by Jennifer Pieratt. Jenny reached out to me to ask about coming on the show to talk about her book Keep it Real with PBL, and so became a sponsored guest on the show. She sent me a copy of the book, I read through it, and agreed to have her on to talk about the book and answer my three questions.



Jenny and I talk about her book, Keep it Real with PBL, the disconnect between decision-makers and those that implement ideas in eductaion, how that disconnect happens in schools, why more people should use PBL, the importance of reconsidering where and when learning can occur, and the power of passion meeting real-world experience as a teacher.



So, sit back and enjoy Episode 109 of the Planning Period Podcast, my interview with Jennifer Pieratt.
