Testimonials

“What a wonderful asset PBL Associates has been to our teaching team. We have been exploring PBL units for two years. It was a pleasure to have them in our school for two full days this fall. They worked directly with our teachers to provide training and leadership to keep us moving forward in our quest to become more "project focused." Tristan de Frondeville, in particular, was knowledgeable, helpful, patient, and committed as he helped us design high quality projects. I look forward to a long term relationship as our staff develops more project based units.”

"Two items – first, I wanted to let you know that our PBL was a smashing success this year.  Our ninth graders put together an 18 minute documentary on their work this year and I’d love to send you a copy.  Second – I’m relocating to Portland, Oregon.  I’m taking over a arts-focus middle school and would very much like to stay in contact with you.  I’m hoping to present PBL as an option to my new faculty and if I can build interest, and then work out the details and funding, would like to have you present PBL to them.”

"At SCAVO, we serve students who have not succeeded in traditional high schools. Tristan came and energized our faculty to change the focus from credit management to 21st Century Skill Building. ”

I just wanted to say thank you for a fabulous 2 days. As you could tell by the “take away”, our teachers learned a great deal and were totally engaged in the process. You did a wonderful job, I couldn’t have asked for a better workshop!! We look forward to arranging the days for your return.
