ENGAGE, EMPOWER, AND INSPIRE STUDENTS WITH PROJECT-BASED LEARNING (Grades 6 - 12) (Virginia School - University Partnership)

This is a completed event.

Description:

This highly interactive workshop will provide attendees with the tools, techniques, and mindset to successfully implement project-based learning (PBL) in any content area.  We will begin with a discussion of the features and benefits of PBL, as well as a consideration of some of the common challenges implementing PBL can present. Then, we will work through the various phases of preparing for a PBL lesson though guided discussions and collaboration within small groups.  Groups will develop and share lesson ideas that they might use in their classrooms.  These lesson ideas will then be discussed and refined based on specific suggestions and general group feedback.  Special attention will be given to the logistics of lesson and assessment planning, maximizing benefits to students, strategies for overcoming common challenges, and resources to facilitate best practices. Participants should leave the workshop having the confidence and inspiration as well as the practical plans needed to integrate project-based lessons into their classrooms.
