#116 Done-For-You Projects Are Not Enough

#116 Done-For-You Projects Are Not Enough

We’ve all been there:
 📥 You download a promising project.
 📄 The instructions look solid.
 ✅ The math checks out.
 But once it hits your classroom? Something’s missing.

The truth is: done-for-you isn’t the same as done-right.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the “Done-for-You Trap” — why great resources still fall flat without the systems, structure, and support to implement them successfully.

🎧 We’ll cover:

  • Why the best projects still need scaffolds and systems
  • What teachers really need to make PBL work
  • How the Modern Math Teacher Membership combines resources + coaching to make it sustainable
