Creating a Project-Based Learning Environment

Project-based learning helps students develop skills for learning, living, and succeeding in our ever-expanding world of tech. Applying new skills and solving complex problems requires students to have both fundamental skills (ELA and math) as well as 21st-century skills (teamwork, problem-solving, researching, time management, information synthesizing, use of high-tech tools). In this session, we'll learn how to focus on relevant skills to prepare students to succeed. With this combination of skills, students can develop strategies to manage their learning process under the guidance and support of a skilled teacher. We will explore structures and systems to allow schools to incorporate PBL across disciplines, therefore enhancing student learning and preparing them for a successful future.
