PBL Foundations
The PBL Foundations Workshop is based on PBLWork’s Gold Standard of PBL. It provides participants with the knowledge and skills needed to design, assess, and manage a rigorous, standards-based project. The workshop models the project process. Participants are actively engaged in project design, with the expectation that every teacher or teaching team will generate a project plan for their own use.
Typically presented as a 3-Day Intensive workshop. Can be modified to meet your school’s needs.
PBL Developing
PBL Developing is a series of monthly workshops that provide experienced PBL practitioners with more in-depth instruction on different PBL teaching practices as well as supported project development time. Participants will leave each workshop with a new skill set for a current or future project, as well as a deeper understanding of effective PBL facilitation practices.
Typically presented as 8 monthly 1-Hour workshops. Can be combined or modified to meet your school’s needs.
PBL Advanced Teams
The PBL Teams workshop provides school teams with guidance in creating interdisciplinary PBL projects. In order to collaboratively create interdisciplinary projects, participants attend this workshop in grade-level teams. The workshop includes access to self-directed resources and protocols that teams can use beyond the workshop to guide them in curriculum mapping, alignment of success skills, and rubric development.
Typically presented as a 2-Day Intensive Workshop for experienced PBL practitioners. Recommended that teachers have taken the PBL Foundations course.
"Sara Jean guided our school through the first year implementation of Project Based Learning. As a principal, it was refreshing to work with a trainer who took the time to understand the strengths and history of the school, and build off of that. Being a master teacher, Sara Jean knew how to help the staff balance the stress of new information with the urgency of change. Our staff embraced the work, and our school showed dramatic improvement"
