About this event

PLEASE NOTE: you are registering for an online course.

Project-based learning (PBL) creates opportunities for students to use real-world scenarios, challenges, and problems to gain crucial skills that support their intellectual and emotional development. But the implementation of PBL, which has widely been credited with revitalizing education for students, is often met with uncertainty and apprehension on the part of educators.

Together, we'll explore the theory behind PBL and its importance in the classroom, as well as engage in a collaborative process for imagining and designing authentic, student-driven projects that help to foster a culture of inquiry, collaboration, and reflection in your classroom.
