Here's what previous educators have said about the course:

“My teachers and I gained tremendous insight through Kyle’s course and coaching by pushing past our comfort zones and providing students with a deeper level of engagement, rigor, active learning, and critical thinking.” - Anne Robinson, Instructional Coach at Gompers Prep

"I just wanted to say a huge THANKS for everything. I really enjoyed the course over the past few weeks. Whenever I thought of PBL, I would always think more about what I wanted students to produce instead of how I wanted them to show their understanding. Your explanations and guidance on the whole process in terms of how we plan for and implement PBL really helped me visualize and better understand how to plan projects for project-based learning that would be engaging, meaningful and allow for student agency. It felt as if the PBL fog was lifted! I'm really excited and look forward to being able to plan and implement PBL now!" - Civen Ho, Secondary Teacher

“Kyle’s course is a great foundation for anyone who is interested in exploring project-based learning with their students. He provides a road map for educators to build their pedagogical skills around inquiry- learning.” - Frank Bradica, Head of School St. Mother Teresa Catholic

“Anyone looking to learn more about PBL whether you are an educator, administrator or a homeschooling parent, whether you’re just getting started or have years of experience, you owe it to yourself to dive into this course headfirst.” - Michael Carberry, Head of School Whole Life Learning Center

“Kyle’s ability to relate project- based learning to the standards- based curriculum we offer in support of students’ passion has really elevated the learning for all students in our school.” - Tarek Razik, Head of School International School of Beijing

“Kyle’s course and meeting with our 5th grade team, inspired four of them to launch projects this year that have been huge successes.” - Evelyn McCullough, Innovations Coach Park Maitland School
