Our Mission

If you’re reading this, welcome to my first post and thank you for visiting my site.

So, what is this site about anyway? CreativePBL is a site for educators looking for support and resources for teaching creative projects.  I hope that it becomes a place where you find ideas, inspiration, and innovative practices. Whether you’ve been teaching for years or just getting started, here you’ll find some project sparks to jumpstart your creative engines and learn to design projects with passion.

I’ve been teaching at an innovative public charter school for 11 years and have gained valuable insights from working with leading schools and educators from around the world. I enjoy helping others discover their passions through designing meaningful, real world projects. But, this work cannot be done in a vacuum. It takes a team to truly do powerful, life-changing work.

How can we leverage our unique talents and bring life to our classrooms that sparks joy and discovery? How can we empower students to engage in their own creative projects? How can we foster a community of learners who believe in themselves to create their dreams? These are the questions that guide my work and I hope free you to design with these ideals in mind.

Let’s work together to make room for creative projects in the classroom. When you unleash the innate desire to create in children, you will be surprised and amazed by what they want to see in the world.

Join me on this adventure to learn how you can tap into the creative genius inside every child.
