Project Based Learning 101
Prairie Lakes AEA will host a FREE, three-day workshop focused on Project Based Learning centered around the Buck Institute for Education, a leader in PBL. The workshop will be held in Pocahontas at the Prairie Lakes AEA office on October 24, November 19, and December 10 from 9:00-3:00 pm.
One license renewal or graduate credit is available.
Based on the Buck Institute's model of Gold Standard PBL, the workshop provides participants with the skills and knowledge needed to design, assess, and manage a rigorous, relevant, and standards-based project. https://www.pblworks.org/
The workshop models the project process and has a blend of hand-on work, direct instruction, video analysis, hands-on work, resource sharing, and peer collaboration and feedback. Participants are actively engaged in project design with the expectation that every educator will generate a project plan that receives formative feedback from both the instructor and their peers.
