Hawken School
MV Experts consulted with administration and teachers from the Hawken School in Cleveland, Ohio to implement high-quality Project-based Learning (PBL). MV Consultants led by Nicole Martin, Executive Director of Learning and Innovation, facilitated a group session comparing and contrasting project-based learning with design thinking so that teacher leaders could dig deeply into the nuanced depths of these inquiry-based approaches.
In addition, they guided participants around the school to develop observation and curiosity journals that could seed ideas for projects and design-thinking challenges. Hawken teachers built PBL unit plans based on these emerging brainstorms and provocations.
