Check out this recent piece by Managing Director Rus Cailey where he explores how years of project-based learning teaching helped him reimagine what it meant to teach, or what he calls “[t]he move that changed my career after years superglued to broken curriculum and pre-loaded content.”
“Suppose life truly starts at the end of your comfort zone (in the professional sense).

- Stand back and let your team problem solve
- Encourage your teams to get out of the classroom
- Diversify project-based learning experiences
