We're back again reporting from Platte-Geddes Elementary School for a second day of professional development with teachers coming together to design what Problem Based Learning will look like in their districts. Teachers from Platte-Geddes, Ethan, Burke, South Central, Gregory, Marty Indian School, Colome, Wessington Springs, Wolsey Wessington, and White Lake worked on designing numerous projects to fit under the topics and problems to build upon the work they began yesterday. We all had an exciting day as we had an opportunity to hear from South Dakota Secretary of Education Melody Schopp PhD and the support for this innovative work. Today was full of teachers collaborating and brainstorming for possible projects that can take place throughout a full semester that are meaningful to their students and communities. In addition to the collaborative planning time, teachers also had a chance to attend break out sessions with Jill Weimer PhD from Sanford Research, to hear about great ways to incorporate this wonderful resource into their problem based work. Over all a productive day with great conversation and lots of ideas flowing around the room. We're at it again tomorrow!
