Project-Based Learning
A realistic approach for a learner-centric classroom
The Approach
We learn by doing and reflecting. Atmosphere matters. Participants take multiple perspectives as they explore and practice PBL techniques. This workshop is organic in nature allowing the content to move at the rate of the participants.
New to PBL or looking to expand your PBL practice? You will walk away with next steps based on your current reality in the classroom. Learning is a process.
This workshop demonstrates the idiom "practice what you preach." Each participant will engage in discussion, create a documentation journal and work through the project experience from Project Wall to final product presentation.
