Episode description

Welcome to The POGIL Podcast. “The POGIL Podcast” is a new conversation from The POGIL Project that celebrates innovative educators, both in and out of the classroom. You will hear about what inspired them to become teachers, and how the practice of student-centered education transformed their classrooms and improved outcomes for their students. Learn how they’re innovating outside of the classroom as well! Join us as we “think out loud” with POGIL educators, researchers, and others working to transform teaching and learning for the 21st century.

POGIL stands for Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning, a student-centered approach that guides students in constructing their own understanding of content and helps them develop important skills such as teamwork, communication, critical thinking, and problem solving.

The POGIL Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the POGIL approach to student-centered learning through effective teacher professional development, well-designed classroom materials, and a supportive community of like-minded educators. Thanks for joining us and we look forward to bringing you great conversations from The POGIL Podcast!
