Review
"With her DIY Project Based Learning books, Heather opens up her extensive toolkit and invites fellow teachers to take a look―and borrow liberally. It’s a generous move by a teacher who has worked hard to develop her own, deep understanding of PBL and to design projects that resonate with students." --From the Foreword by Suzie Boss, Education Consultant and National Faculty Member for the Buck Institute for Education, Portland, Oregon
"This book is worth your time. Heather Wolpert-Gawron’sconversationalwriting style and step-by-step guidance take you on a magical journey, energize you, and fill your head with new possibilities. These innovative teaching units, mix-and-match lessons, and ready-to-use tools provide a rich array of material to bring your classroom to life. Heather is a truly talented curriculum designer with a gift for inspiring and connecting with her readers." --Anne Jolly, PLC Consultant with Learning Forward and author of STEM by Design (Routledge, 2016)
"Heather Wolpert-Gawron is that rare teacher that will go to any length to bring a subject to life. I know so, because as a quantum physicist at Caltech, I am invited to her classroom every year to help her students create powerful superhero origin stories that incorporate real science into their chosen superpowers. In this book, you will find Heather's philosophy on teaching math and science effectively, as well as fully developed lessons from which any teacher can draw to create their own Project Based Learning modules. Perhaps, most importantly, teachers will find here the inspiration and tools they need to unlock their very own superpowers, the ones that make students say years later, 'I had this one math teacher that made me fall in love with math.'" --Spyridon Michalakis, Research Scientist and Manager of Outreach, Institute for Quantum Information and Matter, California Institute of Technology
"...this text would be beneficial for a teacher looking for alternate ways to assess their students in a meaningful way. I would also recommend this book to preservice teachers as it encompasses the NCTM Process Standards that are addressed in some state curricula." -- Katelyn Devine,Virginia Beach City Public Schools

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic PBL book with real ideas you can put into place immediately
This is an excellent book on project-based learning, one of the best I've read in fact. The author includes many step-by-step examples of projects she's used in her own classroom. You can use the projects as starters for your own classroom, or there also is a section on "mix-and-match lesson" which provides handouts and suggestions for the individual parts that make up her projects. Great ideas that really provide a fantastic framework for teachers looking for extra guidance on how to shift from a mostly teacher-directed classroom to one that incorporates much more PBL. I've read several PBL books, but this was the first one that motivated me to rethink my curriculum right now and make changes immediately. I've totally rewritten my next unit I'm covering based on ideas and advice from this book. This is largely because she frames it in such a straightforward and easy to adopt way. I HIGHLY recommend this book to teachers looking to have a more inquiry-based classroom.
4.0 out of 5 stars Four Stars
This product helped me get a better handle on,what PBL is and had practical advice on how to begin.
1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
There is next to no real math examples built into the projects. The science is mostly researching science concepts, not doing science. Waste of money!
5.0 out of 5 stars Ms. Wolpert-Gawron is a force of nature!
I am fortunate enough to be a colleague of Ms. Wolpert and I know her to be an amazing resource for engaging students in their own learning. She teaches and inspires her kids to learn like their heads are on fire! This book is a gigantic step into remaking your classroom into a fully student based and exciting land of learning. Go for it!
