About this Event
In a focused 30-minute, one-on-one conversation with Dr. Evonne Alvarez (Dr. EA)—former superintendent and PBLWorks Superintendent-in-Residence—you’ll walk away with clear next steps, practical options, and a thought partner’s perspective grounded in district realities.
What These Conversations Are For
Common topics leaders bring:
- Launching PBL with clarity (where to start, what to prioritize)
- Building principal and teacher readiness and shared purpose
- Aligning PBL to district strategy, accountability, and improvement plans
- Scaling across grades/content areas without overload
- Using deeper learning to impact engagement, retention, and chronic absenteeism
- Creating the conditions for consistent, high-quality instructional practice
