Hello reader – hopefully you have found this site easily. I am writing here at the beginning of March, as I sit down to fulfill about 6 goals written down on purple post-its stuck to my computer. I have many issues that I would like to address here in my first blog entry, but not knowing the issues that are on the readers minds is of concern to me. I would love to hear from people that I haven’t heard from in a long time – those from my summer courses, or those I have seen in workshops, etc. If you have thoughts, please let me know.

I will be creating forums based on topics that people inquire about or have interest in. My goal is to have this site become a resource for teachers who are interested in PBL or transitioning their school to PBL curriculum.

So for now, I am looking forward to seeing how my school will do this spring with the advent of our new Algebra II/Trig PBL curriculum. This will be the first semester that we utilize the trigonometry portion that we wrote last summer and it will be interesting to see how it goes. The students with which we will be using this curriculum did go through our geometry curriculum, so they do know what they are getting into. I wonder how they will react.

Hopefully, with spring will come new life, goals fulfilled (including my paper getting out to a journal), and new challenges faced as well. If you have a new challenge that you are facing in the utilization of PBL curriculum or movement towards it, please let me know!
