FAQS

We offer a free 30-minute consult with Dr. Jenny Pieratt to understand your goals, budget, timeline, and current PBL stage. From there, we’ll recommend the best combination of workshops, courses, coaching, or curriculum design. Many schools use a blended approach (e.g., an initial workshop + online courses for follow-up + coaching for implementation support).

Yes! All of our workshops can be delivered virtually or in a hybrid format. Our self-paced online courses (PBL On Demand) are fully asynchronous with optional live coaching sessions, making them ideal for schools with limited travel budgets or tight PD calendars.

AI is integrated thoughtfully as a time-saving collaborator for planning, differentiation, and scaffolding, never as a replacement for student thinking or teacher creativity. New modules in our online courses and updated planning tools show teachers how to use AI ethically while preserving the human-centered elements of high-quality PBL.

We work collaboratively with your team to design complete PBL units or projects, including driving questions, benchmarks, assessments, differentiation strategies, and final products. Deliverables typically include ready-to-use project outlines, student handouts, rubrics, and teacher guides tailored to your standards and context.

Absolutely. We offer differentiated materials and examples for elementary and secondary levels across all services. Workshops and courses are often split by level so strategies and resources are age-appropriate.

Yes. We offer flexible school and district licenses for PBL On Demand courses. This is a popular, cost-effective way to support individualized teacher professional development while maintaining consistency across a staff.

Availability varies, but we typically book 4–8 weeks in advance for workshops. Coaching sessions are often more flexible and can sometimes be scheduled within 1–2 weeks. Contact us early to secure your preferred dates, especially for in-person visits.

We combine deep expertise (founded by a former classroom teacher and national PBL coach with a PhD in educational philosophy) with a practical, teacher-friendly approach. Our services are highly customized, include our signature planning workbooks, emphasize sustainable implementation, and now thoughtfully integrate AI; all while keeping the focus on real student learning and teacher agency.
