PRIMARY SESSION 1: PROJECT-BASED LEARNING
Are you curious about integrating more hands-on projects in your classroom but aren't sure where to start? In this session, learn the fundamentals of Project-Based Learning (PBL) and how it can support meaningful, content-aligned learning experiences in the classroom. Use design thinking methodology to prototype a PBL experience for your own classroom, then receive feedback on your idea from a community of educator peers.
This is the first session in our Winter/Spring 2022 Virtual PD series for primary (K-5) educators. Attending all three sessions is NOT required; however educators interested in PD credit may choose to attend all three.
