Trevor Muir | Project Based Learning

In this episode, Jeremy Singer talks with Trevor Muir, an educator, author, speaker, and founder of Epic PBL. Recorded at College Board's AP Annual Conference, Trevor shares his journey from a classroom teacher to a leading advocate for "main course" PBL—learning experiences that require students to think critically, collaborate, and solve real-world problems. They discuss the difference between meaningful applied learning and "dessert" projects, how AI can serve as a powerful project-planning partner, and practical ways for AP teachers and school leaders to effectively incorporate and scale PBL while maintaining content mastery.
