Project Based Teaching

It's no secret that in today's complex world, students face unparalleled demands as they prepare for college, careers, and active citizenship. Project Based Teachers encourage active questioning, curiosity, and peer learning; create learning environments in which every student has a voice; and have a mastery of content but are also comfortable responding to students' questions by saying, "I don't know. Let's find out together.” For schools ready to make such a shift, project-based learning (PBL) offers a proven framework to help students be better equipped to tackle future challenges. The projected outcome of this course is to provide educators with the knowledge, understanding, and methodologies needed to make the fundamental shift from traditional, teacher-centered instruction toward innovative, student-centered teaching and learning.
