This was the best Project Based Learning workshop I've had in 20 years!
- Secondary Teacher DeSoto ISD
Any educator interested in Project Based Learning (PBL) will gain valuable knowledge and skills on this 10-day virtual workshop. Educators will develop and present a PBL project with a COVID-19 focus that can be facilitated in the classroom or virtually. The workshop also provides educators the opportunity to:
- Collaborate with other educators
- Experience integrating a variety of content, such as TEKS with English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS), or Common Core State Standards (CCSS) with English Language Development (ELD)
- Develop a holistic approach to your curriculum that applies listening, speaking, reading, and writing
- View real world issues that academics and corporations encounter, and experience the methods used when addressing problems
- Incorporate basic assessment and feedback
- Use Zoom platform to incorporate into your online teaching
- Use a variety of technology to develop a real product
- Learn about our educator motto of "Student led, teacher facilitated"
Participants will earn 20 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) hours.
