As part of PBL unit, STEM student creates SBL promo video to help fellow students and staff

Wow, check out this SBL Information video that STEM student Ben Grossman made as part of a PBL unit. Ben noticed that some of his fellow students were struggling with understanding SBL (Standards Based Learning) and what it meant for them.
He took it upon himself to utilize his videography and editing skills to make an informational presentation that was livestreamed via STEM’s YouTube channel to all of Secondary Monday morning.
Ben partnered with members of STEM’s Administration Team to put this together in hopes of assisting with the ongoing education and implementation of SBL. Thank you Ben!
