Still reflecting on the energy of #NTAC2025. Huge thanks to the educators who joined our sessions & shared their insights. Their words stuck with us—swipe through the post to read a few! 💬 #PBL #NTAC #TeacherVoices #edusky

At NTAC, we were surrounded by passionate educators committed to equity, even in uncertain times. A powerful reminder: teacher expertise is essential for PBL that’s rooted in students and their communities.

How to Quick-Launch a PBL Initiative Start with just a two-hour session to identify goals for project-based learning and get your implementation team on board.

Just before the beginning of the school year, try a 4-part strategy that makes PBL a manageable process so that educators, staff, and students can experience the benefits of rigorous learning! ⭐

Article Revisit! 🧠🎓 We shared a framework for designing STEM PBL that’s truly discipline-rich—built from real teaching.

Did You Know?: When 9th grade students wrestled with math problems to find their own solutions before receiving instruction, their comprehension nearly doubled, compared to students learning via direct instruction only. In middle and high school, asking students to struggle with key concepts before teaching the correct solutions is highly effective. But use the tactic surgically to avoid too much frustration.

In middle and high school, asking students to struggle with key concepts before teaching the correct solutions is highly effective. 🔥

Thank you for your guidance and for showing what truly transformative education looks like. 💙

From shaping equitable classroom practices to supporting teachers nationwide, Dr. Perry’s work inspires us every day. She’s pushed us to grow, lead, and keep students at the center.

Today we're celebrating Dr. Ayanna Perry — a brilliant mentor and a force for equity in math education.

At The Conference for Advancement in Mathematics Teaching in San Antonio there were so many reminders of why math can be joyful, rigorous, and human-centered.

@msdimaria.bsky.social shares: big ideas from speakers, PAMEST recognition, and takeaways to share. 💡 #CAMT2025 #MathEd #edusky #PAEMST

We believe in a world where all students thrive in STEM.

Follow us for ideas, strategies, and professional learning.

✨ Let’s connect and learn together!

Last week, one of our co-founders, Sarah, was recognized for her excellence as a mathematics teacher. We are so honored to be able to learn with and from her!

We wouldn’t be doing this work the without the Knowles Teacher Initiative.

As Knowles Fellows, our connection—and eventually, our LLC—grew from a space where teachers are seen as leaders, collaborators, and change agents.

Sunglasses on, summer is here.

We kicked it off with an energizing day of learning alongside a dedicated group of teacher facilitators.

What are you looking forward to this summer: rest, growth, or something else? Let us know.

What does meaningful community engagement really look like in PBL?

Cofounder @drsheilaorr.bsky.social just wrapped up #MSUSI25 and is walking away with powerful reminders to facilitate community engagement in PBL projects.

We’d love to hear: What guides your community work?

#ProgressEDPathways

Think PBL means tossing your best strategies and starting over? Not at all. 🙅‍♀️

PBL brings purpose and flow to what you're already doing—things like collaboration, reflection, and meaningful assessment. It's not either/or. It’s “yes, and.” #PBL #TeachingTools #MythVsReality

Students used polynomials to design field trip budgets—and pitched their plans to the principal and student council. Powered by student voice and community wisdom, this #PBL project made math real.
